Pentecostal Modernism: Lovecraft, Los Angeles, and World-Systems Culture Paperback / softback
by Professor Stephen (University of Warwick, UK) Shapiro, Professor Philip (University of Kansas, USA) Barnard
Part of the New Directions in Religion and Literature series
Paperback / softback
Description
Bringing together new accounts of the pulp horror writings of H.P.
Lovecraft and the rise of the popular early 20th-century religious movements of American Pentecostalism and Social Gospel, Pentecostal Modernism challenges traditional histories of modernism as a secular avant-garde movement based in capital cities such as London or Paris.
Disrupting accounts that separate religion from progressive social movements and mass culture, Stephen Shapiro and Philip Barnard construct a new Modernism belonging to a history of regional cities, new urban areas powered by the hopes and frustrations of recently urbanized populations seeking a better life.
In this way, Pentecostal Modernism shows how this process of urbanization generates new cultural practices including the invention of religious traditions and mass-cultural forms.
