The essays in Moving Modernisms: Motion, Technology, and Modernity, written by renowned international scholars, open up the many dimensions and arenas of modernist movement and movements: spatial, geographical and political: affective and physiological; temporal and epochal; technological, locomotive and metropolitan; aesthetic and representational. Individual essays explore modernism's complex geographies, focusing on Anglo-European modernisms while also engaging with the debates engendered by recent models of world literatures and global modernisms. From questions of space and place, the volume moves to a focus on movement and motion, with topics ranging from modernity and bodily energies to issues of scale and quantity. The final chapters in the volume examine modernist film and the moving image, and travel and transport in the modern metropolis. "Movement is reality itself," the philosopher Henri Bergson wrote: the original and illuminating essays in Moving Modernisms point
in new ways to the realities, and the fantasies, of movement in modernist culture.

Industry Reviews

The aim of this volume of essays, according to the introduction by Laura Marcus and David Bradshaw, is to open up the many dimensions and arenas of modernist movement and movements... All in all, then, this is a highly valuable collection of essays which will likely offer many provocative new avenues for scholars of twentieth-century modernisms, especially literary modernism. * Jonathan Potter (Coventry University), The British Society for Literature and Science *
