About

Before Modernism Was Synopsis

Before Modernism Was places modernist writing within the texture of modern history. Texts by Woolf, James, Freud, Wyndham Lewis, Stein, Malinowski, and others are read through a range of figures that construct and disrupt modern meaning:

  • the ghost that affects the value of your property
  • the sulky, graceless adolescent
  • the Pole who may not be Polish
  • the nervous owner of the dog
  • the addict and her smoke. Eccentric to its institutions, these figures are central to the constituency of modernism
