In short, the year which not only in hindsight became the primal scene of literary modernism but which served as the cradle for a host of major political and aesthetic transformations resonating around the globe. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In his previous study, the acclaimed \u003cem\u003eDialect of Modernism\u003c\/em\u003e (OUP, 1994), Michael North looked at the racial and linguistic struggles over the English language which gave birth to the many strains of modernism. Here, he expands his vision to encompass the global stage, and tells the story of how books changed the future of the world as we know it in one unforgettable year.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael North\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0195151631\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780195151633\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press, USA\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/20\/2001\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 288\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.86lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.22h x 6.12w x 0.64d","brand":"Michael North","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43946270327039,"sku":"9780195151633","price":83.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_06a9f533-1b14-4106-b898-93d904516920.jpg?v=1681512295","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/reading-1922-michael-north-9780195151633","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
