{"product_id":"1913","title":"1913","description":"This innovative volume puts modernist literature in its cultural, intellectual, and global context, within the framework of the year 1913. This significant year was marked by many critical events and happenings, such as the first international recognition of non-Western writers when the Nobel Prize in literature was awarded to Rabindranath Tagore; it was also the last year of peace before the eruption of the First World War. \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003e1913\u003c\/i\u003e examines the wide range of diverse artistic, literary, and political endeavours undertaken in this one year. For example, while Yeats and Pound were collaborating at Stone Cottage and discovering Japanese culture, Joyce was completing his autobiographical novel in Trieste, Du Bois was creating his Ethiopian pageant in New York, and Paris was resounding with the scandal caused by Stravinsky’s contested \u003ci\u003eRite of Spring.\u003c\/i\u003e The book also explores and compares Apollinaire’s \u003ci\u003eAlcools\u003c\/i\u003e and Rilke’s \u003ci\u003eSpanish Trilogy\u003c\/i\u003e with Pound’s \u003ci\u003ePersonae\u003c\/i\u003e, and Edith Wharton’s \u003ci\u003eThe Custom of the Country\u003c\/i\u003e with Proust’s \u003ci\u003eSwann’s Way\u003c\/i\u003e. Engaging and insightful, this volume will encourage the reader to appreciate the breadth of activity that took place in this pivotal year, and its lasting influence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Jean-Michel Rabaté","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42848907952189,"sku":"9781405161923","price":67.46,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0597\/7689\/2989\/files\/9781405161923_ebf4dda0-f455-4cdc-bb91-841452121fe3.jpg?v=1766990240","url":"https:\/\/www.palmleaf.com.au\/products\/1913","provider":"Palmleaf","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
