Abstract

In their 2008 survey of “The New Modernist Studies,” Douglas Mao and Rebecca Walkowitz suggest that the term “expansion” suitably characterizes the scholarly attention currently awarded to the products of literary modernism. In this account of a modernist studies revitalized in the twenty-first century, they identify a series of “temporal, spatial, and vertical” expansions, noting for instance that modernism has extended beyond the customary temporal boundaries of 1890–1945, and that scholars now attend more regularly to global modernisms by examining transactions among modernist practices in English-speaking countries and beyond. They cite the vertical expansions typifying the new modernist studies as particularly “disruptive,” given that modernism was imagined from its inception as an elite movement positioned against the bodies, practices and artifacts of the masses.1
