<p>&ldquo;This is an incisive study showing the instrumental role of traveling and travel writing in the late phase of modernism. Whether it is Wyndham Lewis in Morocco, Rebecca West in the Balkans, E. E. Cummings in [Soviet] Russia, or Ezra Pound in France&mdash;in each case, traveling was productive of an awareness and a formal repertoire germane to the writer&rsquo;s respective literary project. David Farley&rsquo;s book is part of an ongoing reassessment of modernism&rsquo;s vital historical, cultural, and political contexts.&rdquo;&mdash;Bernard Schweizer, author of Radicals on the Road: The Politics of English Travel Writing in the 1930s
