Modernism, Mass Culture, and the Aesthetics of Obscenity Book

How did explicit sexual representation become acceptable in the twentieth century as art rather than pornography? Allison Pease answers this question by tracing the relationship between aesthetics and obscenity from the 1700s onwards, focusing especially on the way in which early twentieth-century writers incorporated a sexually explicit discourse into their work.

R. Leavis, I. A. Richards and T. S. Eliot.Read More
