Reviews
What questions motivated the New Modernist Studies, and what arguments shaped the field? Latham and Rogers offer a collection that will let readers answer these and other queries for themselves. With each selection framed by headnotes that provide context for specific interventions, The New Modernist Studies Reader offers a chronological roadmap of how the field expanded and made itself new. -- Celia Marshik, Professor of English, Stony Brook University, USA
