She positions the coterie of writers centred around Pound, Eliot and Joyce as one among a number of groups in Britain intent on redefining the cultural work of literature at the turn of the twentieth century. Ardis emphasizes the ways in which modernists secured their cultural centrality, she documents their support of mainstream attitudes toward science, their retreat from a supposed valuing of scandalous sexuality in the wake of Oscar Wilde's trials in 1895, and the conservative cultural and sexual politics masked by their radical formalist poetics. She recovers key instances of opposition to modernist self-fashioning in British socialism and feminism of the period. Ardis goes on to consider how literary modernism's rise to aesthetic prominence paved the way for the institutionalization of English studies through the devaluation of other aesthetic practices. 517 3 $aModernism & Cultural Conflict, 1880-1922 606 $aEnglish literature$y20th century$xHistory and criticism 606 $aModernism (Literature)$zGreat Britain 606 $aCulture conflict$zGreat Britain 606 $aCulture conflict in literature 615 0$aEnglish literature$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aModernism (Literature) 615 0$aCulture conflict 615 0$aCulture conflict in literature. 676 $a820.9/112 700 $aArdis$b Ann L.$f1957-$0857304 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910450560403321 996 $aModernism and cultural conflict, 1880-1922$92454786 997 $aUNINA
