Reviews

Rasula (Univ. of Georgia) provides a fresh and invigorating account of modernism that resists definition or taxonomy and is instead dense with quotations, examples, and information. Rasula spans Europe, North America, Latin America, and East Asia, and traces affinities and influences among music, painting, sculpture, architecture, and literature. ... This book shines new light on a vast topic many have thought already illuminated. -- G. Grieve-Carlson, CHOICE
