In short, the year which not only in hindsight became the primal scene of literary modernism but which served as the cradle for a host of major political and aesthetic transformations resonating around the globe. In his previous study, the acclaimed Dialect of Modernism (OUP, 1994), Michael North looked at the racial and linguistic struggles over the English language which gave birth to the many strains of modernism. Here, he expands his vision to encompass the global stage, and tells the story of how books changed the future of the world as we know it in one unforgettable year.English literature20th centuryHistory and criticismModernism (Literature)Great BritainLiterature and societyGreat BritainHistory20th centuryLiterature and societyUnited StatesHistory20th centuryAmerican literature20th centuryHistory and criticismBooks and readingHistory20th centuryModernism (Literature)United StatesNineteen twenty-two, A.DElectronic books.English literatureHistory and criticism.Modernism (Literature)Literature and societyHistoryLiterature and societyHistoryAmerican literatureHistory and criticism.Books and readingHistoryModernism (Literature)Nineteen twenty-two, A.D.820.9/112North Michael1951-1027111MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910450089203321Reading 19222449626UNINA
