Historicizing Modernism challenges traditional literary interpretations by taking an empirical approach to modernist writing: a direct response to new documentary sources made available over the last decade.Informed by archival research, and working beyond the usual European/American avant-garde 1900-1945 parameters the series reassesses established images of modernist writers by developing fresh views of intellectual backgrounds and working methods.Series Editors: Matthew Feldman and Erik TonningAssociate Editor: Natasha Periyan, Lecturer in Literature, King’s College London, UKEditorial Board:Professor Chris Ackerley, Department of English, University of Otago, New Zealand; Professor Ron Bush, St. John’s College, University of Oxford, UK; Dr Finn Fordham, Department of English, Royal Holloway, UK; Professor Steven Matthews, Department of English, University of Reading, UK; Dr Mark Nixon, Department of English, University of Reading, UK; Professor Janet Wilson, University of Northampton, UK;Santanu Das, University of Oxford, UK;Nan Zhang, The University of Hong Kong;Kevin Andrew Riordan, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
