The book demonstrates that the materiality of print objects - paper quality, typography, spatial layout, use of illustrations, etc. - became uniquely visible and significant in these years, as a result of a widely perceived crisis in literary valuation. In a set of case studies, it analyses the relations between literary value, meaning, and textual materiality in print artefacts such as newspapers, magazines, and book genres - artefacts that gave form to both literary works and the journalistic content (critical essays, book reviews, celebrity profiles, and advertising) through which conflicting conceptions of literature took shape. In the process, it corrects two available misperceptions about reading in the period: that books were the default mode of reading, and that experimental modernism was the sole literary aesthetic that could usefully represent modern life. 650 0 $a English literature $x Criticism, Textual. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85043817 650 0 $a Books $z Great Britain $x History. 650 0 $a Books and reading $z Great Britain $x History. 650 0 $a Printing $z Great Britain $x History. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85106771 650 7 $a Books. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00836401 650 7 $a Books and reading. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00836454 650 7 $a English literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00911989 650 7 $a Printing. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01076612 651 7 $a Great Britain. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204623 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 830 0 $a Edinburgh critical studies in modernist culture. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2013018387 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171220012729.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=CC7BA112E55311E7AFB0C42A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
