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.
