Book Overview

Beginning with a general discussion of the theory and historical background of the avant-garde, Russell examines the major figures and movements, from Rimbaud, Apollinaire, and Italian futurism, to the post-modernist writers Burroughs, Robbe-Grillet, and Pynchon. Highly informative and intellectually powerful, this volume places the avant-garde in the context of other major aesthetic movements, providing an invaluable perspective on the entire range of modern writing.
