[Reframing Yeats is] an intellectually nuanced, theoretically contextualized study of Yeats’s multifaceted engagements with literary genres and previous authors ... both illuminating and highly accomplished.

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.
