Jennifer Julia Sorensen

Modernist Experiments in Genre, Media, and Transatlantic Print Culture

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Examining works by Henry James, Jean Toomer, Djuna Barnes, Katherine Mansfield, and Virginia Woolf, Jennifer Sorensen argues that the formal strategies of modernist texts can only be fully understood in the context of the material forms and circuits of print culture. She shows that modernist generic and formal experimentation was deeply engaged with specific print histories that generated competitive media ecologies of competition and hybridization.
