The Retroactive Canon: Constructing a Network of Modernisms
The Retroactive Canon: Constructing a Network of Modernisms

Summary/Abstract: The study is intended to throw what light it can on the retroactive construction and the process of canonization of the literary modernist canon. The inquiry is based on complementarity of perspectives (historical, theoretical, critical) and is addressed to retroaction but also to a mixture of influences either retrospective or prospective. The analysis of modernism canonization history,with similarities and differences is addressed to two writers contemporary to each other, but representative of two different literatures of the English speaking world.
