Fragmentary Modernism - The Classical Fragment in Literary Visual Cultures, C.1896 C.1936

Fragmentary Modernism has been called the 'apotheosis of the fragment' in the art and writing of modernism. Modernism and classical scholarship are often seen to be entirely separate spheres of activity, but a complex network of interaction bound the two together, shaping how we still consume and interpret the fragments of antiquity today.
