Brings ideas and animals together to shed new light on modernist magazine cultureTests the concept of ‘primordial’ modernism as a tributary of primitivism, Jungian thought, and fraught nationalismsProvides readings of Eugene Jolas’s creative and critical works that place him centre-stage in modernist studiesMoves between unpublished archival material, reception studies, and readings of overlooked authorsConsiders a wide range of modernist authors and artists as befitting to such a rich documentTouches on contemporary scientific discourse as an aspect of animal studiesThis adventurous study focuses on experimental animal writing in the major interwar journal transition (1927–1938), which contains a striking recurrence of metaphors around the most basic forms of life.
