Modernism as Biography
In one of the often piquant asides addressed to his readers, Robert M. Crunden complains off-handedly that too much literary history has text speaking to text in a vacuum (p. 107). This unobtrusive homily is, in fact, the premise for Crunden's monumental kaleidoscope American Salons: Encounters with European Modernism, 1885-1917.
