From cinema and radio broadcasting to the growth of new communication technologies, Modernism and Its Media is the first critical guide to key issues and debates on the changing media contexts of modernist writing.

Topics covered include:

· Key thinkers, including Walter Benjamin, Theodor Adorno, and Marshall McLuhan
· Modernist film – from Eisenstein to the French New Wave cinema
· Modernism and mass culture
· The history of modernist media and communication technologies
· Modernism’s legacies for contemporary new media art

With case studies covering such topics as the film writings of Joyce, Woolf and Eliot, popular art and kitsch, the Frankfurt School and the rise of the gramophone, this is an essential guide for students and scholars researching the relationship between modernism and mass media.

Chris Forster is Assistant Professor of 20th Century British Literature and Culture at Syracuse University, USA.
