'Cross-Channel Modernisms invites us to think anew about the history of connections between Britain and France - a timely and urgent project - in its transdisciplinary voyages across and between the literary, visual and musical arts. Starting from the stories of the people, objects, words and imaginaries that moved back and forth across The Channel/La Manche, the book reconfigures our understanding of transnationalism and translation in the modernist period.' Anna Snaith, King's College London Explores modernist aesthetics and cultural exchange in Britain, France and beyond Described by Katherine Mansfield in 1921 as 'a great cold sword between you and your dear love Adventure', in the early twentieth century the English Channel, or 'La Manche' in French, represented both a political and an intellectual barrier between European avant-gardism and British restraint, and a bridge for cultural connection and aesthetic innovation. Organised around key terms 'Translating', 'Fashioning' and 'Mediating', this book presents ten original essays by scholars working on both sides of the Channel. Cross-Channel Modernisms historicises artistic exchanges in Britain, France and beyond and proposes a rich conceptual apparatus of 'crossings' and 'channels' through which we can read modernism and understand it as emerging from, and intervening in, an always-already shifting, multivalent, international context. Claire Davison is Professor of Modernist Studies at the Université Sorbonne Nouvelle, Paris. Derek Ryan is Senior Lecturer in Modernist Literature at the University of Kent.
