When did we become aware of our modernity? This collection of 21 essays avoids the usual approach to literary history, focusing on places and times when we changed, literature changed, or perhaps we changed together. Times and places include the darkness of Vienna and the Congo, Europe and the US in feminist mappings, in 1916 after wars upon wars, in the conscious modernity of Paris in 1922's Paris and its young things, in the gathering storms between 1925 and 1936 in London, New York and Madrid, in the Blitz, in the ebb of the empire in Australia and a certain Californian mouse-loving theme park, in Lagos and Nairobi, in the Eichmann trial, in the myths of 1963 London, in the British invasion, in the new global imagination, in the world after apartheid, on the web, and in the prize circuit of 1993.
