Críticas:

"Everyone teaching literary modernism should spend time with this book." (James Gifford, University of Toronto Quarterly). "Their resources build from primary texts and through the ready resources in the Modernist Journals Project, JSTOR, the Times Literary Supplement Historical Archive, and so forth. The great merit of this approach is its adept management of primary and secondary materials, moving between the terms used in the modernist period, conceived here loosely as from 1880 to 1950, and the keywords used in scholarship. The result is a deliberately use-oriented collection of keywords for the study of modernism. The most immediate audience will be undergraduate students, but graduate-level and researcher use is also certain." (James Gifford, University of Toronto Quarterly).

Reseña del editor:

Guided by the historical semantics developed in Raymond Williams' pioneering study of cultural vocabulary, Modernism: Keywords presents a series of short entries on words used with frequency and urgency in written modernism, tracking cultural and literary debates and transformative moments of change. * Highlights and exposes the salient controversies and changing cultural thought at the heart of modernism * Goes beyond constructions of plural modernisms to reveal all modernist writing as overlapping and interactive in a simultaneous and interlocking mix * Draws from a vast compilation of more than a thousand sources, ranging from vernacular prose to experimental literary forms * Spans the long modernist period, from its incipient beginnings c.1880 to its post-WWII aftermath * Approaches English written modernism in its own terms, tempering explanations of modernism often derived from European poets and painters * Models research techniques based on digital databases and collaborative work in the humanities
