Recognizing that (modern) literary history is currently one of the main
sites of theoretical and methodological reflection in literary studies,
this volume takes stock of recent scholarship and investigates how
literary historical research has modified our understanding of writing
between 1900 and 1950. Its approach is radically multiperspectivist.
Each contribution is presented under the heading of a label – from
‘style’ and ‘anthology’ to ‘objects’ and ‘abstraction’ – which sums up
the approach to writing literary history the essay in question advances
or reconsiders. In addition, the present book covers a highly variegated
corpus, with texts, writers and literary phenomena from the lowbrow to
the highbrow kind and from both major and minor cultural zones in the
modernist period. This inclusive approach, both in methods and in case
studies, is not only fully in line with the vision of the MDRN research
lab, it also invites the reader to draw unforeseen parallels.
