Wonderful to see that a Standard Ebooks edition of Mary Butts’ brilliant but somewhat neglected modernist novel Armed With Madness has been released today.

Stillness - an idea seemingly at odds with the ever-moving speed of #Modernism - is what Louise Hornby highlights in her unconventional reading of #ModernistLiterature & #VisualCulture such as #earlyphotography & #ModernistFilm
"Troubling Late #Modernism" by Doug Battersby analyses how #postwarnovel|s by #Nabokov, #SamuelBeckett, #ToniMorrison, #JohnBanville, #Coetzee & #EimearMcBride exploit & extend #modernist forms of narration, esp. at the opposition of #ethics & emotion
"Fragmentary #Modernism" by Nora Goldschmidt asks: how did #ModernistLiterature & #VisualCulture engage with classical fragments (incl #EzraPound, #TSEliot, #HildaDoolittle, #RichardAldington, #JacobEpstein & #HenriGaudier-Brzeska) & shape our reception of #ClassicalAntiquity until today?
🚨 new book alert! 🚨 4 new books on #Modernism
Facing the uncertainty of Modernism, the treatment of #spectrality & #ghosts in works by #JosephConrad, #EMForster, #MaryButts, & #ElizabethBowen is analysed by Stephen Ross: "There is hope in these ghosts, not resignation"
Wouldn't you like to look into the closets of the #BloomsburyGroup? Among secrets & lovers, you'd find a lot of fashionable, unique garments - as Charlie Porter describes in his new book!

2 newcomers in matching covers in our collection, #Modernism edition: 2 beautiful new books dealing with questions on #EnglishModernism
This month is the 100th anniversary of the publication of #KatherineMansfield's #Modernist #ShortStory collection "Something Childish But Very Natural"
Read the stories & fathom their hidden depths in Gerri Kimber's study
#ModernistLiterature #AustralianLiterature #LiteraryStudies
Mansfield's stories: https://opac.sub.uni-goettingen.de/DB=1/XMLPRS=N/PPN?PPN=027417700
Kimber's analysis: https://opac.sub.uni-goettingen.de/DB=1/XMLPRS=N/PPN?PPN=815828896
Anyway, these were the #shortstory collections that came to mind immediately. As you can see, I've been on a bit of a #horror / #magicrealism / #literaturafantastica tip recently, but I could just as easily have done a list of #modernistliterature or #ClassicLiterature collections. Maybe I will one day!
