| Summary |
Examining the importance of trust as an influence on a wide range of European and American modernists - including James Joyce, Marcel Proust, Gertrude Stein, Ezra Pound, Wyndham Lewis, H.D., Ford Madox Ford, Samuel Beckett, Ralph Ellison and Wallace Stevens - this collection shows that the concept underwent a violent set of transformations at the turn of the twentieth century. The contributors take up a diverse set of topics related to reception, the institutions of modernism, history of authorship, representation, authenticity, genre and politics |
