Summary:
Questioning the assumption that modernism coincided with a loss of community, Modernist Communities Across Cultures and Media seeks to recover modernism's own communal impulses. Through a transnational and transmedial lens, this volume explores the diverse ways in which modernism reconfigured the relationships between the individual and the communal.
