The Edinburgh Dictionary of Modernism
Edited by Vassiliki Kolocotroni and Olga Taxidou
The first book to gather, delineate and make accessible the literary, artistic, critical, cultural and
political practices that we associate with modernism
The Edinburgh Dictionary of Modernism provides a wide ranging resource both to the canon of ‘High modernism’
and to current theoretical perspectives that have contributed to the renewed interest in modernism and have
lent it renewed range and critical rigour in the early twenty-first century. A team of current experts in the field
provide clear and fully contextualised definitions of key terms, concepts, texts, movements, practitioners, as well
as influential critical views and legacies. The entries cover Anglophone modernism as well as giving full attention
to significant figures, ideas and movements in European, North and South American culture and to influences
from non-Western cultures. The Dictionary can be used either as a companion to the editors’ successful
Modernism: An Anthology of Sources and Documents or as a stand alone reference work and provides both new
researchers and experienced scholars with a thorough and up-to-date guide to this vibrant field.
Key Features
• The first dictionary to cover the movements, concepts and figures associated with European modernism and
to place them in an international frame
• Comprises authoritative entries written by a dedicated team of experts in the field
• A timely and rich addition to the resources available to students and scholars of a subject currently in great
demand throughout the English-speaking world
• Chronological and thematic in scope with comprehensive coverage

Afromodernisms
Paris, Harlem and the Avant-Garde
Edited by Fionnghuala Sweeney and
Kate Marsh
Persuasively argues for a black
Atlantic literary renaissance and its
impact on modernist studies
These 9 new chapters stretch
current canonical configurations
of modernism in two key ways: by
considering the centrality of black
artists, writers and intellectuals as
key actors and core presences in the
development of a modernist avantgarde;
and by interrogating ‘blackness’
as an aesthetic and political category
at critical moments during the early
twentieth century. This is the first
book-length publication to explore
the term ‘Afromodernisms’ and the first
study to address together the fields of
modernism and the black Atlantic.

Archipelagic Modernism
Literature in the Irish and British Isles, 1890–1970
John Brannigan
Offers a new archipelagic history of twentieth-century literature in Britain and Ireland
From the height of the British Empire in 1890, to the increasing sense by 1970 of the imminent ‘break-up’ of
Britain, ‘archipelagic modernism’ turned to the ‘peripheral’ spaces of islands, coastlines, and the sea to re-invent
the Irish and British archipelago as a plural and connective space.
• Questions established terms such as ‘Modernism’ or ‘the Angry Young Men’ and explores new terms such as
‘critical realism’ and literary developments such as ‘the Scottish New Wave’
• Takes the study of 20th-century literature into the twenty-first-century providing a single volume treatment
of the distinct national literary traditions of the British Isles
• Provides students with a provocative revisionist approach and in-depth coverage.
The Vogue for Russia
Modernism and the Unseen in Britain 1900–1930
Caroline Maclean
Explores the influence of Russian mystical aesthetics on British modernists
In what ways was the British fascination with Russian arts, politics and people linked to a renewed interest in
mysticism? How did ideas of Russianness and ‘the Russian soul’ – prompted by the arrival of the Ballets Russes
and the rise of revolutionary ideals – attach themselves to the existing British fashion for theosophy, vitalism
and occultism? In answering these questions, this study is the first to explore the overlap between Slavophilia
and mysticism between 1900 and 1930 in Britain.
• Draws on unpublished archive material as well as on periodicals, exhibition catalogues, reviews, diaries, fiction
and the visual arts
• Addresses the omission in modernist studies of the importance of Russian aesthetics and Russian discourses
of the occult to British modernism
• Challenges the dominant Western European and transatlantic focus in modernist studies and provides an
original contribution to our understanding of new global modernisms
• Combines literary studies with aesthetics, modernist history, the history of modern esotericism, film history,
periodical studies and science studies

Modernist Literature and
Postcolonial Studies
Rajeev S. Patke
Provides a revisionary account of
modernist writing informed by
insights derived from postcolonial
studies
Rajeev S. Patke argues that the history
of modernist writing is inextricable
from the history of colonialism,
and demonstrates that modernist
practices from Europe and the United
States inspired adaptations and
transpositions among writers from
the former colonies which constitute
an ‘afterlife’ for literary modernism.
