| Summary: | Angels of Modernism surveys the uses made of angelic figures in early 20th-century British literature. It traces their role both in the high modernism of Woolf, Lawrence, and Barnes (among others) and in the aftermath of modernism, during which Wyndham-Lewis and H.D. (for instance) reflect back on the euphoric constructivism of the 1910s and 1920s. It is particularly sensitive to the angel’s place in the cultural milieu of the various clubs, societies, and utopian projects that litter the pages of the history of modernism—and the way in which these attitudes of the literati either reflect or react against wider social concerns. |
