  • Product Description

    What provoked the fierce and systematic "will to experiment" that was Modernism? Seeking an answer to this question, David Trotter examines the careers of Ford Madox Ford, D. H.

The result is a new and unexpected approach to the preoccupations with gender and with the politics of culture that currently characterize the study of the period.
