Modernism and Nostalgia: Bodies, Locations, Aesthetics

By Tammy Clewell

Book Overview

This book addresses the multiple meanings of nostalgia in the literature of the period. Whether depicted as an emotion, remembrance, or fixation, these essays demonstrate that the nostalgic impulse reveals how deeply rooted in the damaged, the old, and the vanishing, were the variety of efforts to imagine and produce the new--the distinctly modern.
