Through extensive study of interwar \u003ci\u003eVogue\u003c\/i\u003e (UK), \u003ci\u003eEve\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGood Housekeeping\u003c\/i\u003e (UK), and \u003ci\u003eHarper's Bazaar \u003c\/i\u003e(UK), Wood uncovers how modernism was received and disseminated by these fashion and domestic periodicals and recovers experimental journalism and fiction within them by an array of canonical and marginalized writers, including Storm Jameson, Rose Macaulay, Gertrude Stein, and Virginia Woolf. The book's analysis is attentive to text and image and to interactions between editorial, feature, and advertising material. Its detailed survey of these largely neglected magazines reveals how they situated radical aesthetics in relation to modernity's broader new challenges, diversions, and opportunities for women, and how they approached high modernist art and literature through discourses of fashion and celebrity. \u003ci\u003eModernism and Modernity in British Women's Magazines\u003c\/i\u003e extends recent research into modernism's circulation through diverse markets and publication outlets and adds to the substantial body of scholarship concerned with the relationship between modernism and popular culture. It demonstrates that commercial women's magazines subversively disrupted and sustained contemporary hierarchies of high and low culture as well as actively participating in the construction of modernism's public profile.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Alice Wood\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138285625\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138285620\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/08\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.02lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Alice Wood","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48087717806335,"sku":"9781138285620","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_03d55010-1014-44ad-a8bb-334e5ee966bb.jpg?v=1769101010","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/modernism-and-modernity-in-british-alice-wood-9781138285620","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
