This reissue of Menand's classic intellectual history of T.S. Eliot and the singular role he played in the rise of literary modernism 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. 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.
The new Afterword was adapted from Menand's critically lauded essay on Eliot in The Cambridge History of Literary Criticism, Volume Seven: Modernism and the New Criticism.

"When DISCOVERING MODERNISM was first published, it proposed a new understanding of T. S. Eliot's place in literary modernism. The book's historical and theoretical analyses continue to challenge the way we think about Eliot's writing and career, from his use of allusion and his conception of interpretation to his relation to professionalism and to the culture of modernity. This new edition includes a full-length discussion, adapted from Menand's acclaimed essay in the Cambridge History of Literary Criticism, of Eliot's social and political beliefs and their relevance to his poetry and literary criticism." [publisher copy] 'Remarkable wit, elegant prose and wide erudition.'"Lively, clear, and intelligent. Menand has written better than anyone about Eliot's way of taking over and converting the old into something he needs, but needs in a different way."--Frank Kermode. "A penetrating analysis. Menand is particularly successful in demonstrating the continuity of 19th-century ideas. Menand's thesis is that Eliot correctly analyzed the contradictions inherent in Modernist thought and that his genius lay in transforming those very contradictions into 'literary opportunities.'"--Library Journal. Pristine paperback w/brilliant corners & crisp edges, a square & tight binding w/no creases in spine. Quite presentable. Artikel-Nr. RUB3280
