Publisher's Synopsis
The Struggle of the Modern is a non-fiction book written by Stephen Spender. The book is an exploration of modernism, a cultural and artistic movement that emerged in the early 20th century. Spender examines the key figures and ideas of modernism, including T.S. Eliot, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and Pablo Picasso, and how they challenged traditional values and conventions. Spender also explores the political and social contexts that gave rise to modernism, including the aftermath of World War I, the rise of fascism in Europe, and the changing roles of women in society. He argues that modernism was a response to the upheavals of the time, and that it sought to break down the barriers between art and life, and between different forms of artistic expression.The Struggle of the Modern is a thoughtful and insightful analysis of one of the most important cultural movements of the 20th century.
