Reviews
This book is masterful in the economy of its summaries, paraphrases, and analyses of the principal contributors to the School, in the scope of its references and allusions to context, and in its insights into the historicity of the School's development in the different locales and phases through which the School passed over the course of its evolution. Miller has a gift for grasping the heart of the matter of any complex argument or performance.-- ""Hayden White"" While the Frankfurt school shaped the concept of ""modernism"", it also got stuck between ""high art"" and ""mass culture"". Modernism and the Frankfurt School audaciously reframes the critical discussion. It engages with literature, music, the visual arts and the theater, to highlight modernism's ""turbulent now"" with unrivaled brilliance and intelligence.-- ""Jean-Michel Rabaté, Professor of English and Comparative Literature, University of Pennsylvania""
