Modern Times. Literary Change seeks to redefine what we mean by “literature” and “history” in European modernism studies. This book develops a new functionalist approach for modern literary historiography and introduces alternative methods for dealing with European writings and their multiple mediatizations, histories and functions. Modern Times. Literary Change illustrates these new insights in chapters dealing with canonized figures as well as internationally less known writers . For both its theoretical argument and its subtle readings this book will be of interest to all those who study European literature from the modernist period.
