Introduction [HTML] or [PDF format]

ADDITIONAL ENDORSEMENTS:

"This book provides a really original take on the literature of the fin de siècle and high modernism, suggesting how central the imaginative labor of literary works was to the social, philosophical, and cultural traditions of the period. Mao works out his claims with a subtlety, depth, and range of reference that is deeply impressive. The book is written with unusual clarity, precision, and grace, adding to one's sense that it is the product of a major critic coming into his own. A splendid piece of work."--Jonathan Freedman, University of Michigan
