Description

The Difficulties of Modernism by Leonard Diepeveen explores how complexity became essential to modern literature and cultural encounters. Diepeveen examines modernism's early readers who protested against widespread difficulty in literature, viewing challenging art as unintelligible. The book argues that modernism's emergence and contemporary discussions about difficulty were intrinsically linked: difficulty elevated modernism to high art status and fundamentally shaped the twentieth-century literary canon. This scholarly work offers critical insight into how modernist writers deliberately employed complexity as a defining characteristic, influencing how literature was evaluated, taught, and canonised. Essential reading for students and scholars studying literary modernism, critical theory, and the historical development of twentieth-century literature.
