New Modernisms

"An incredibly well-informed and wide-ranging case for the significance of this intellectual convergence
and to illuminate new elements in some of modernism's most familiar (even hackneyed) figures and ideas..." --Twentieth-Century Literature

"Mark Morrison's slim but packed book, Modernism, Science and Technology, is a significant new addition to the "New Modernisms" series ... This is a book that moves at speed and tosses out ideas, summarizes whole fields of study, and surveys important theoretical paradigms on almost every page: it might be thought of not just as a primer on its subject, but as a goldmine for seekers of dissertation or book topics. It is immensely rich and suggestive, as well as measured, as it surveys the terrain that may well be the key to the whole modernist enterprise. Its "Works Cited" is in itself a very valuable resource, and not just for the beginner in this area. It is a compendium, and yet it never reads as such; rather, the writer makes clear that he is not afraid to tackle the fundamental questions of how science relates to literature." - James Joyce Literary Supplement

"Modernism, Science, and Technology ... mounts a powerful case for interdisciplinarity as the primary way by which the connections among the three nouns of its title have become legible, and by which modernist studies has been productively transformed by multiple discourses and fields of study." - Modernism/modernity
