Situating Friedrich Nietzsche and Oscar Wilde as forerunners of modern aphoristic culture, the collection analyses the relationship between aphoristic consciousness and literary modernism in the expanded purview of the long twentieth century, through the work of a wide range of authors, including Samuel Beckett, Max Beerbohm, Jorge Luis Borges, Katherine Mansfield, and Stevie Smith. From the romantic fragment to the tweet, Aphoristic Modernity offers a compelling exploration of the short form's pervasive presence both as a standalone artefact and as part of a larger textual and cultural matrix. 410 0$aChloe;$vvolume48. 606 $aModernism (Literature)$vCongresses 606 $aAphorisms and apothegms$xHistory and criticism$vCongresses 606 $aLiterature, Modern$y20th century$xHistory and criticism$vCongresses 615 0$aModernism (Literature) 615 0$aAphorisms and apothegms$xHistory and criticism 615 0$aLiterature, Modern$xHistory and criticism 676 $a809.9112 702 $aBoyiopoulos$b Kostas 702 $aShallcross$b Michael 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793859403321 996 $aAphoristic modernity$93744594 997 $aUNINA
