Ed., Stephen Ross Modernism and Theory boldly asks what # if any # role theory has to play in the new modernist studies. Separated into three sections, each with a clear introduction, this collection of new essays from leading critics outlines ongoing debates on the nature of modernist culture. This collection: Examines aesthetic and methodological links between modernist literature and theory. Addresses questions of the importance of theory to our understanding of #modernism# and modernism as a literary category. Considers intersections of modernism and theory within ethics, ecocriticism and the avant-garde. Concluding with an afterword from Fredric Jameson, the book makes use of an innovative dialogic format, offering a direct and engaging experience of the current debate in modernist studies.
