Review
"...provocative." English Literature in Transition
"Cooper's arguments are appealing, his prose dynamic and engaging, and his scope impressive."
Meg Albrinch, Virginia Woolf Miscellany
"...not just another academic book. This one makes a bid to rearrange the furniture of our minds. More than another literary study, it is an account of how things are and how they got that way, and how (for the most part) it is pretty damned sad...More than anything else, Cooper's book left me itching to find out more about Eric Gill and his Ditchling artisans, about Roger Fry and the Omega Community, to dust off my Ruskin and enter again to that world where art and life are somehow connected at the level of the workbench and street." George Slanger, Minot State University
Product Description
John Xiros Cooper asserts that the avant-garde is actually one of the defining instances of capitalist culture: part of the brash, new capitalist culture in the early twentieth century. The Modernist avant-garde exemplified the impact of capitalism on everyday life in their personal relationships, gender roles and sexual contacts. Cooper explores this provocative theme across a wide range of Modernist authors.
