Explores the response of literary modernism to the changing environment wrought by technology.

This monograph on the English modernist Wyndham Lewis examines the eccentric's life and art. Primarily focused on his guiding aesthetic beliefs and the battles he waged against other artistic ideologies, Hugh Kenner's book analyzes Lewis' literary output and paintings not as a simple explanation for the viewer or reader but as an extension of Vorticist's polemics and Kenner's own philosophy of art.

The author assumes that Joyce wasn't a man with a box of mysteries, but a writer with a subject : his native European metropolis of Dublin. Dublin's Joyce provides the reader with a perspective of Joyce as a ...
