A dynamic collection of essays, Modernist Objects brings recent scholarship to bear on the question of object-relations and the ways in which it continues to interrogate our understanding of modernism. By building on the critical turn towards things initiated in the last two decades by such astute object-readers as Bill Brown, the twelve essays that compose the volume investigate a number of literary and artistic interplays between artist, artwork and other selves and objects in the external universe across a wide range of media and material, revisiting well-known modernist loci — such as Beckett’s “post-war room” — or opening new vistas onto less-discussed experiments — such as the Baroness’s intermedial project or Eileen Gray’s subversive camping of kitsch orientalism.
