{"product_id":"satirizing-modernism","title":"Satirizing Modernism","description":"\u003ci\u003eSatirizing Modernism\u003c\/i\u003e examines 20th-century novels that satirize avant-garde artists and authors while also using experimental techniques associated with literary modernism. These novels—such as Wyndham Lewis’s \u003ci\u003eThe Apes of God\u003c\/i\u003e, William Gaddis’s \u003ci\u003eThe Recognitions\u003c\/i\u003e, and Gilbert Sorrentino’s \u003ci\u003eImaginative Qualities of Actual Things\u003c\/i\u003e—were under-recognized and received poor reviews at the time of publication, but have increasingly been acknowledged as both groundbreaking and deeply influential. \u003ci\u003eSatirizing Modernism\u003c\/i\u003e analyzes these novels in order to present an alternative account of literary modernism, which should be viewed neither as a radical break with the past nor an outmoded set of aesthetics overtaken by a later postmodernism. In self-reflexively critiquing their own aesthetics, these works express an unconventional modernism that both revises literary history and continues to be felt today.","brand":"Bloomsbury Publishing Plc","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54219624972632,"sku":"9781501348082","price":43.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9781501348082.jpg?v=1770266741","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/satirizing-modernism","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
