Drawing on works in a variety of genres, Gayle Rogers reconstructs an archive of cross-cultural exchanges to reveal the mutual constitution of two modernist movements-one in Britain, the other in Spain, and stretching at key moments in between to Ireland and the Americas. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSeveral sites of transnational collaboration form the core of Rogers's innovative literary history. \u003cbr\u003eThe relationship between T. S. Eliot's \u003cem\u003eCriterion\u003c\/em\u003e and José Ortega y Gasset's \u003cem\u003eRevista de Occidente\u003c\/em\u003e shows how the two journals joined to promote a cosmopolitan agenda. A similar case of kindred spirits appears with the 1922 publication of Joyce's \u003cem\u003eUlysses\u003c\/em\u003e. The novel's forward-thinking sentiments on race and nation resonated powerfully within Spain, where a generation of writers searched for non-statist forms through which they might express a new European Hispanicity. These cultural ties between the Anglo-Irish and Spanish-speaking worlds increased with the outbreak of civil war in 1936. Rogers explores the connections between fighting Spanish fascism and dismantling the English patriarchal system in Virginia Woolf's \u003cem\u003eThree Guineas\u003c\/em\u003e, along with the international, anti-fascist poetic community formed by Stephen Spender, Manuel Altolaguirre, and others as they sought to establish Federico García Lorca as an apolitical Spanish-European poet. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMining a rich array of sources that includes novels, periodicals, biographies, translations, and poetry in English and in Spanish, \u003cem\u003eModernism and the New Spain\u003c\/em\u003e adds a vital new international perspective to modernist studies, revealing how writers created alliances that unified local and international reforms to reinvent Europe not in the London-Paris-Berlin nexus, but in Madrid.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gayle Rogers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0190207337\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780190207335\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.98lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.08h x 6.75w x 0.71d","brand":"Gayle Rogers","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47419004485887,"sku":"9780190207335","price":39.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_46e9fdb4-9527-47ba-9793-2c994663a8f6.jpg?v=1761508862","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/modernism-and-the-new-spain-gayle-rogers-9780190207335","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
