Subject: [References worth to read] New Life for Modernism                 


Dear technology lists,

During my non-stop cyberexplorations --I tried to find some *new books*
regarding 'Modernism' and tried to write some *blurbs* related to
the Modernism --that might interest you :)

The term "Modernism" refers to the radical shift in aesthetic and
cultural sensibilities evident in the art and literature of the post-World
War One period. Sometimes Liberalism or sometimes called Modernsim is a
major shift in theological thinking which occurred in the late nineteenth
century. [your thoughts are always welcome :-)]

--Some excerpts about New Life of Modernism--

"It may have been the spirits of scholars of modernism, who after years of
being associated with the fusty and retrograde, suddenly found themselves
energized and optimistic".

"Many scholars are less interested in analyzing modernism as a literary
movement than in conducting a cultural study of modernity writ large".

"Modernism is generally considered a profound shift in aesthetic and
cultural sensibilities that emerged in the wake of World War I".

Stanford Schwartz, an associate professor of English at Penn. State
University has written a book, "The Matrix of Modernism: Pound, Eliot, and
Early Twentienth Century Thought" (Princeton University Press, 1985)
