Modernism and Exile [electronic resource] : Liminality and the Utopian Imagination /
Spariosu, M.author.
Studying exile and utopia as correlated cultural phenomena, and offering a wealth of historical examples with emphasis on the modern period, Spariosu argues that modernism itself can be seen as a product of an acute exilic consciousness that often seeks to generate utopian social schemes to compensate for its exacerbated sense of existential loss.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
