"Fresh, invigorating, witty and profound, her book impresses on every page. . . . This is criticism at its very best and it deserves to top any reading list on Modernism." - Times Higher Education "[Frost] is an irreverent, imaginative guide to modernism, and her own writing throughout this impressive study is a pleasure and a delight." - Linda Simon, Los Angeles Review of Books "A lively, coherent, well-researched work that makes a significant contribution to an understanding of early twentieth-century literature and its legacies." - Laura Marcus, University of Oxford    Aldous Huxley decried "the horrors of modern 'pleasure,'" or the proliferation of mass produced, widely accessible entertainment that could degrade or dull the mind. He and his contemporaries, including James Joyce, T. S. Eliot, Gertrude Stein, D. H. Lawrence, and Jean Rhys, sought to radically redefine pleasure, constructing arduous and indirect paths to delight through their notoriously daunting work. Laura Frost follows these experiments in the art of unpleasure, connecting modernism's signature characteristics, such as irony, allusiveness, and obscurity, to an ambitious attempt to reconfigure bliss.    Order Now and Save 30%!   $35.00 $24.50 Use discount code PROFRO at check-out £24.00 | Cloth | 304 pages * Customers in the UK, Europe, Africa, the Middle East, South Asia, and South Africa should contact customer@wiley.com  FOLLOW COLUMBIA UNIVERSITY PRESS:
