<p>“An invaluable resource for literary theorists and modernism scholars … Highly recommended.” <b><i>Choice<br /></i></b><br />"A handbook, yes, but so much more: an inspiriting demonstration of the divergent, energetic, and innovative approaches that are transforming our sense of how modernism was, is, and one day might be understood. Indispensable, whatever your level of engagement with modernist studies." <i><b>Maria DiBattista</b></i><b>, <i>Princeton University<br /><br /></i></b>“Jean-Michel Rabaté’s expertly assembled <i>Handbook of Modernist Studies</i> rereads Modernist literary texts through the lens of the most recent and up-to-date Continental theory. The 25 essays included here are as comprehensive and authoritative as they are sophisticated.” <b><i>Marjorie Perloff</i></b><br /><br />“This superb collection of new essays by leading figures in the field provides the reader with a satisfyingly complete yet also excitingly cutting-edge introduction to the study of Modernism in our time ... Indispensible for both experts and newcomers to the field.” <i><b>Sianne Ngai, Stanford University</b></i></p>
<p><b>Jean-Michel Rabaté</b>, professor of English and Comparative Literature at the University of Pennsylvania (USA) since 1992, is a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences and one of the editors of the <i>Journal of Modern Literature</i>. Co-founder and senior curator of the Slought Foundation in Philadelphia, he has authored or edited more than thirty-five volumes on modernism, psychoanalysis, contemporary art, and philosophy. Recent books include <i>Crimes of the Future</i> (2014), <i>The Cambridge Introduction to Literature and Psychoanalysis</i>  (2014), and the edited volume <i>1922: Literature, Culture and Politics</i> (2015).</p>
<p>The fourth volume in a new and innovative series exploring literature through the variegated lenses of critical theory, this bold new collection of essays examines canonical modernist texts by making sense of the conceptual, philosophical, and theoretical issues that underpin them. Edited by a renowned commentator on modernist theory and literature, the book features contributions from leading academics who have engaged in detailed analysis both of individual texts, and their links with theory and theoreticians.<br /><br />The handbook explores the deep affinity of leading theorists for specific modernist texts, unravelling the intellectual links between Adorno and Beckett, Derrida and Joyce, Foucault and Borges, and ?i?ek and Kafka, among others. It also attests to the penchant of modernist authors such as Virginia Woolf, T.S. Eliot and Fernando Pessoa for particular aspects of philosophical and theoretical discourse. This compelling examination of the philosophical confluence between modernism and literature will attract students and scholars not just of literature, but in many other disciplines.</p>
"A handbook, yes, but so much more: an inspiriting demonstration of the divergent, energetic, and innovative approaches that are transforming our sense of  how modernism  was, is, and one day might be understood. Indispensable, whatever your level of engagement with modernist studies."—<i><b>Maria DiBattista</b></i>, <i>Princeton University</i><br /> <p>“Jean-Michel Rabaté’s expertly assembled <i>Handbook of Modernist Studies</i> rereads Modernist literary texts through the lens of the most recent and up-to-date Continental theory. The 25 essays included here are as comprehensive and authoritative as they are sophisticated: studies making use of the New Marxisms, cognitive science, queer theory, phenomenology and Rancière’s “aesthetic regime” are ingeniously flanked, in Rabaté’s Introduction and the concluding essay by Jonathan Loesberg, by reconsiderations of Clement Greenberg’s formalism and its important version of Modernism as we now understand it.”—<b><i>Marjorie Perloff</i></b><br /> <br /> “This superb collection of new essays by leading figures in the field provides the reader with a satisfyingly complete yet also excitingly cutting-edge introduction to the study of Modernism in our time.  Focusing on the productive tensions between art and theory as they informed the cultural movements of the period, <i>A Handbook of Modernist Studies</i> will prove indispensible for both experts and newcomers to the field.”—<i><b>Sianne Ngai</b>, Stanford University</i></p>
