Modernism, Middlebrow and the Literary Canon

The Modern Library Series, 1917–1955

Language: English
Release Date: October 6, 2015

In the 1920s and 1930s the Modern Library series began to bring out cheap editions of modernist works. Jaillant provides a thorough analysis of the series’ mix of highbrow and popular literature and argues that the availability and low cost of modernist works helped to expand modernism's influence as a literary movement.
