Das Buch "Kunst" von Clive Bell, das 1914 erschien, ist ein Klassiker der Kunsttheorie, der noch heute starke Beachtung findet und moderne Strömungen der Kunsttheorie inspiriert. Clive Bell war als bedeutender Kunstkritiker Mitglied der legendären Bloomsbury Group, die zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts die kulturelle Modernisierung Englands vorantrieb. Bell geht es in seinem Buch um die Frage, welche Eigenschaft ein Werk zu einem Kunstwerk macht. Seine Antwort: Es ist die "signifikante Form", die allen Kunstwerken gemeinsam ist und die unser ästhetisches Gefühl auslöst. Diese auf die Form bezogene essentialistische Kunstauffassung ist nicht unwidersprochen geblieben, ist aber bis heute ein wichtiges Dokument einer formalistischen Ästhetik, die zu ihrer Zeit den post-impressionistischen Malern wie Cézanne, Matisse und Picasso in der angelsächsischen Welt zum Durchbruch verhalf.Die zuletzt im Jahr 1922 erschienene deutsche Übersetzung von Paul Westheim wird hier in einer vollständig überarbeiteten Fassung neu vorgelegt.

Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot, and Wyndham Lewis have all, to varying degrees, been the subject of studies that explore their ideology. All too often, however, these studies have not tackled the issue adequately, limiting their analytical approach to fascism or other phenomena such as anti-Semitism. Frequently, they have also sought to exculpate these writers or to normalise their political tendencies in an effort to circumnavigate the dilemma of how to address the paradox of right-wing artists who are both harbingers and opponents of the imagined trajectory of progressive modernity. This interdisciplinary study analyses the connections between literary Modernism and right-wing ideology. Moreover, it is the first academic study to explore the reception of these Modernist authors by today's far right, seeking to understand in what ways they use strategic readings of Modernist texts to legitimise right-wing ideology. By raising fundamental questions about the relationship between aesthetics and politics, this study ultimately challenges its readers to see their cultural practices as political. It wants to make visible and problematize the interdependencies of right-wing ideology and cultural production as well as reception in order to explain the (far) Right as a phenomenon deeply rooted in European history and cultural development. It thus lays bare the misconceptions, the gaps as well as the complicity in the debate about right-wing ideology in literature.

" ... one of the most original and important contributions to Irish studies, and to a number of other fields as well, that has been written by a young scholar in recent years. It will be an important and much discussed book. It participates in, and outlines the future of, significant new directions in areas such as Irish studies, modernist studies, postcolonial studies, and the study of the relations among technology, materiality, and culture."--Marjorie Howes, Boston College" "Public Works, Michael Rubenstein's pathbreaking book, brilliantly explores relationships between modern èngineering cultures' and literary cultures. Juxtaposing literary texts and electric power generators, plays and water schemes, he offers us nothing less than a new way to read literary modernism's engagement with the real. His book represents a major intervention in postcolonial studies, uncovering new and pragmatic models of imagined community after colonialism. Additionally, Rubenstein's work marks a significant move in contemporary Irish studies by developing paradigms that help us read Ireland's postcolonial statehood in a global context. It also offers highly original readings of a series of Irish late-modernist writers, all in a timely and truly interdisciplinary project, beautifully done."--Enda Duffy, University of California, Santa Barbara." "Can you imagine a Joycean appeal for the payment of taxes? If you do not find it easy, you may be ready to take in the superb literary flair and pitch-perfect sense of present urgencies that puts Public Works at the sharpest edge of new scholarship. Michael Rubenstein makes a tiger's leap into the recent past, when the intimacy of the home had not yet learned to take for granted its connection to networks of electricity, gas, and water. He has written the book on the very hot topic of infrastructure, and he's done so while also figuring out a new direction for postcolonial studies. You will never be able to read Ulysses the same way again."--Bruce Robbins, Columbia University"--Jacket.
