Book Description

When Discovering Modeism was first published, it shed new and welcome light on the birth of Modeism. This reissue of Menand’s classic intellectual history of T.S. Eliot and the singular role he played in the rise of literary modeism features an updated Afterword by the author, as well as a detailed critical appraisal of the progression of Eliot’s career as a poet and critic. The new Afterword was adapted from Menand’s critically lauded essay on Eliot in The Cambridge History of Literary Criticism, Volume Seven:Modeism and the New Criticism. Menand shows how Eliot’s early views on literary value and authenticity, and his later repudiation of those views, reflect the profound changes regarding the understanding of literature and its significance that occurred in the early part of the twentieth century. It will prove an eye-opening study for readers with an interest in the writings of T.S. Eliot and other luminaries of the Modeist era.
