Reviews
Four Metaphors of Modernism is a tour de force demonstration of the centrality of metaphor to the modernist project both in Europe and America. Through comparative analysis, Jenny Anger charts the surprising aesthetic and philosophical continuities informing two key modernist ventures. --Mark Antliff, Duke University The book not only brings together various strands of scholarship with brand new archival research, it is also the first major effort to systematically trace the connections between the German Der Sturm and the American Societe Anonyme. Jenny Anger's highly original and engaging instigation of connections between these two key modernist institutions is particularly noteworthy for the author's nuanced discussion of gender, which builds on her earlier published work and will no doubt further cement her reputation as a major contributor within this area. --Anna Brzyski, University of Kentucky
