"In 1935, the English writer Stephen Spender wrote that the historical pressures of
his era should "turn the reader's and writer's attention outwards from himself to
the world." Combining historical, formalist, and archival approaches, Thomas S. Davis
examines late modernism's decisive turn toward everyday life, locating in the heightened
scrutiny of details, textures, and experiences an intimate attempt to conceptualize
geopolitical disorder"--Jacket
