description: This monograph on the English modernist Wyndham Lewis examines the eccentric's life and art. Primarily focused on his guiding aesthetic beliefs and the battles he waged against other artistic ideologies, Hugh Kenner's book analyzes Lewis' literary output and paintings not as a simple explanation for the viewer or reader but as an extension of Vorticist's polemics and Kenner's own philosophy of art.
