{"title":"Historicizing Modernists: Approaches to \"Archivalism,\" ed. by Matthew Feldman, Anna Svendsen, and Erik Tonning (review)","authors":"Wim van Mierlo","doi":"10.1353/jjq.2023.a905394","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/jjq.2023.a905394","url":null,"abstract":"H Modernists is a fascinating collection of essays that looks at a range of modernist authors against the backdrop of their time. The book brings together thirteen essays originally presented at a conference held at the University of York in May 2018 in celebration of the tenth anniversary of the prestigious “Historicizing Modernism” series published by the Bloomsbury Academic Press. As such, the present volume fulfils the same aims as that series: to challenge traditional literary-critical work by drawing on documentary and archival sources with a view to providing fresh intellectual perspectives on the work and methods of modernist writers. The new essays in this volume offer in condensed, but no less rigorous, form what the book series to date has done so well: to genuinely break new ground. That the collection is missing an essay on James Joyce is due no doubt to the luck of the draw that comes with conference volumes like this. Nonetheless, readers of the JJQ will not be disappointed by the rich pickings on offer. Aside from two contributions on Virginia Woolf and two on Ezra Pound, there are essays on Gertrude Stein, T. S. Eliot, Samuel Beckett, David Jones, and Katherine Mansfield, on two queer late modernists, Charles Henri Ford and Richard Bruce Nugent, and on the critic Q. D. Leavis. What the volume amply demonstrates is how modernist authors are “historicized,” whether this is in literary-critical, biographical, or practical-editorial terms. Using untapped correspondence at the Beinecke Library, Svetlana Ehtee shows just how deeply embroiled Pound was with Nazi and Fascist figures, while Alec Marsh scrutinizes the letters Pound exchanged with the Fascist poet Olivia Rossetti Agresti (a relative of William and Dante Gabriel Rossetti) to discover that the “esoteric surface of The Cantos” actually hides a “hard, activist core” that cannot easily be explained away by Pound’s apologists (88). Jonas Kurlberg, too, uses a biographical approach in his analysis of Eliot’s involvement with a group called the Moot who were creating, in the 1930s and 1940s, the intellectual foundations for a Christian cultural revolution. His is an important contribution to the understanding of Eliot’s Anglo-Catholicism, which largely remains in need of specific historical contextualization. Natasha Periyan, by contrast, has written an excellent and subtly argued analysis of the “biopolitics” of intelligence and sentiment in Mrs Dalloway, by which she means the political discourses concerned with “optimizing the ‘aptitudes’ of the population” (53).1","PeriodicalId":42413,"journal":{"name":"JAMES JOYCE QUARTERLY","volume":"60 1","pages":"409 - 411"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2023-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44895401","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Modernism, Empire, World Literature by Joe Cleary (review)","authors":"Christopher Gogwilt","doi":"10.1353/jjq.2022.0035","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1353/jjq.2022.0035","url":null,"abstract":"J Cleary’s rich new reading of anglophone modernism offers a kind of expert guided tour of canonical texts of anglophone modernism: The Golden Bowl and The Waste Land (chapter 3), Ulysses (chapter 4), The Great Gatsby and Long Day’s Journey Into Night (chapter 5), and Omeros (chapter 6). The first two chapters chart the theoretical and historical itinerary subsequent chapters then explore with close attention to key passages in these texts. Making use of Pascale Casanova’s sense of the “world [literary] system” (with a few important qualifications and adjustments), the overall argument, mapped by the three keywords of the title, shows us the way “modernism” consolidated its claim to “world literature” through the shifting coordinates of “empire” as Europe’s cultural capital moved from London to New York.1 As Cleary explains in the first chapter: “‘Modernism’ is the name we now assign to that new aesthetic code through which the transformation in English letters that shifted Anglophone literary supremacy from London to New York was effected” (15). The book’s guided tour of anglophone modernism depends, however, on an important detour through Irish peripheries. And it is this double focus—on American and Irish challenges to the British—that makes for the book’s most interesting twists and turns. In certain ways, Cleary’s Irish emphasis repeats a key part of Casanova’s argument in The World Republic of Letters: that it is the Irish who set a precedent for those “subversive reworkings” that “enable writers on the periphery . . . to take part in international competition” (328). Yet Cleary underscores an ambivalence about this Irish precedence that is both compelling and, at the same time, riddling: compelling because anglophone modernism does lean so heavily on Irish writers (W. B. Yeats and James Joyce offering only the most noticeable profiles); riddling, because American and Irish challenges to British dominance are premised on very different equations of cultural capital to political power. As Cleary puts it, “whereas the Americans took over from the British in running a world empire, the Irish broke with an empire and had the audacity to establish their own state and to cultivate a literature of some distinction in its own right” (3). This double-vision of anglophone modernism in the service of empire-building and empire-dismantling emerges as much from the economic, intellectual, and political overview of the book (laid out mostly in the first two chapters) as it does from the fine-grained attention to individual literary works. What is important, if also riddling, is the fact that the Irish and","PeriodicalId":42413,"journal":{"name":"JAMES JOYCE QUARTERLY","volume":"59 1","pages":"713 - 716"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42760002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is not entirely clear how this profile of the critic within the canonical text relates to those “critics of the center” against whom Casanova’s The World Republic of Letters seeks to liberate the “deprived and dominated writers on the periphery of the literary world” (355). In the double vision of Cleary’s American and Irish appropriations of modernism, the critic is simultaneously a critic of the center and a critic from the periphery. Modernism, Empire, World Literature tends toward the conservative side of its ambivalent grasp of anglophone modernism. From this perspective, the great modernist revolutions in form live on only through their appropriation by empire and as monuments to empire’s claim to civilization. From another perspective, though, those monuments themselves bear the linguistic, literary, and cultural traces of a revolutionary destabilization of empire. Cleary leaves us still wanting to find the right balance between the idealistic championing of modernism’s revolutionary peripheries and the melancholic regret for modernism’s role in monumentalizing empire in art.","PeriodicalId":42413,"journal":{"name":"JAMES JOYCE QUARTERLY","volume":"59 1","pages":"716 - 721"},"PeriodicalIF":0.1,"publicationDate":"2022-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47602621","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"文学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
