{"product_id":"9781501329098","title":"Satirizing Modernism: Aesthetic Autonomy, Romanticism, and the Avant-Garde","description":"\u003ci\u003eSatirizing Modernism\u003c\/i\u003e examines 20th-century novels that satirize avant-garde artists and authors while also using experimental techniques associated with literary modernism. These novels-such as Wyndham Lewis's \u003ci\u003eThe Apes of God\u003c\/i\u003e, William Gaddis's \u003ci\u003eThe Recognitions\u003c\/i\u003e, and Gilbert Sorrentino's \u003ci\u003eImaginative Qualities of Actual Things\u003c\/i\u003e-were under-recognized and received poor reviews at the time of publication, but have increasingly been acknowledged as both groundbreaking and deeply influential. \u003ci\u003eSatirizing Modernism\u003c\/i\u003e analyzes these novels in order to present an alternative account of literary modernism, which should be viewed neither as a radical break with the past nor an outmoded set of aesthetics overtaken by a later postmodernism. In self-reflexively critiquing their own aesthetics, these works express an unconventional modernism that both revises literary history and continues to be felt today.","brand":"Bloomsbury USA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47131482554608,"sku":"9781501329098","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781501329098_p0.jpg?v=1763708540","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781501329098","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
