description: This book recounts new and startling stories about five major modernist figures--James Joyce, T. S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, H. D., and F. T. Marinetti--whose individual tales offer fresh perspectives on the larger story of modernism itself. The author explores why the cultural status of literary modernism became increasingly troubled and how the public and the cultural and literary elites became mutually estranged.
