Brilliant Modernism - Cultures of Light and Modernist Poetry

"A study that is enlightening in every sense of the term. This book is full of new material, profound insights, and fascinating illustrations, all of which are presented in a clear, engaging prose style. Asciuto has successfully undertaken a difficult and far-reaching task, showing how the encounter with electric light helped create a new form of poetics that reached into many or even most corners of modern aesthetics"--
