Editor's Introduction: Re-assessing, Breaking, Transcending Genres
Journal of modern literature, v 35(1), pp VI-vi
22 Sep 2011
Abstract
Peter Monacell explores how certain modern poets used the suburbs to create a new pastoral mode, even as others saw this site as an insurmountable obstacle to the pastoral and to free expression; Paul Stephens examines the neglected modernist writer Bob Brown's "reading machine" as a prescient treatment of a technological, information-driven landscape; and finally, Adrienne R. Brown discusses the skyscraper as a motif resisted in modernist literature but embraced by weird fiction where it connected with earlier myths of American landscape. [...] this issue begins with the self-conscious fashioning of a self and ends, quite literally, in the clouds.
