Modernism and the Culture of Market Society

by John Xiros Cooper

Book Overview

John Xiros Cooper asserts that the avant-garde is actually one of the defining instances of capitalist culture: part of the brash, new capitalist culture in the early twentieth century. The Modernist avant-garde exemplified the impact of capitalism on everyday life in their personal relationships, gender roles and sexual contacts. Cooper explores this provocative theme across a wide range of Modernist authors.
