1922: Literature, Culture, Politics
examines key aspects of culture and
history in 1922, a year made famous by the publication of several
modernist masterpieces, such as T. S. Eliot’s
The Waste Land
and
James Joyce’s
Ulysses.
Individual chapters written by leading scholars
offer new contexts for the year’s significant works of art, philosophy,
politics, and literature.
1922
also analyzes both the political and intel-
lectual forces that shaped the cultural interactions of that privileged
moment. Although this volume takes post–World War I Europe as
its chief focus, American artists and authors also receive thoughtful
consideration. In its multiplicity of views,
1922
challenges misconcep-
tions about the “Lost Generation” of cultural pilgrims who flocked
to Paris and Berlin in the 1920s, thus stressing the wider influence of
that momentous year.
