Table of Contents

Reviews

Elizabeth Pender’s splendid close readings show how the novels of Barnes, Loy and Rodker express an oblique relation to the ""canonical"" modernism from which they emerged. Prizing style above structure and using allusion to create poetic density rather than to celebrate tradition, these ""new modernists"" propose exciting new ways to read twentieth-century fiction. -- Peter Nicholls, New York University
