Finn Jensen analyzes Miller in the light of European modernism, in particular considering the many impulses Miller received in Paris. Jensen draws on theories of urban modernity to connect Miller’s narratives of a male protagonist alone in a modern metropolis with his time in Paris where he experienced a self-discovery as a writer. The book highlights several sources of inspiration for Miller including Nietzsche, Rimbaud, Hamsun, Strindberg and the American Transcendentalists. Jensen considers the key movements of modernity and analyzes their importance for Miller, studying Eschatology, the Avant-Garde, Dada, Surrealism, Expressionism, and Anarchism. .Literature, Modern20th centuryAmericaLiteraturesEuropeHistory1492-Cities and townsHistoryTwentieth-Century LiteratureNorth American LiteratureHistory of Modern EuropeUrban HistoryLiterature, Modern20th century.AmericaLiteratures.EuropeHistory1492-.Cities and townsHistory.Twentieth-Century Literature.North American Literature.History of Modern Europe.Urban History.818.5209940.903Jensen Finnauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut933964MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910484541103321Henry Miller and Modernism2844053UNINA
