1922 : Literature, Culture, Politics Paperback / softback
Edited by Jean-Michel (University of Pennsylvania) Rabate
Paperback / softback
Description
1922: Literature, Culture, Politics examines key aspects of culture and history in 1922, a year made famous by the publication of several modernist masterpieces, such as T.
S. Eliot's The Waste Land and James Joyce's Ulysses. Individual chapters written by leading scholars offer new contexts for the year's significant works of art, philosophy, politics, and literature. 1922 also analyzes both the political and intellectual forces that shaped the cultural interactions of that privileged moment.
Although this volume takes post-World War I Europe as its chief focus, American artists and authors also receive thoughtful consideration.
In its multiplicity of views, 1922 challenges misconceptions about the 'Lost Generation' of cultural pilgrims who flocked to Paris and Berlin in the 1920s, thus stressing the wider influence of that momentous year.
