This monograph's concern is with the way in which Modernism, named for its avant-garde propaganda, reveals itself to be dominated by a keen awareness of the possibilities of the past recurring in the present.

Schneidau''s concern is with the way in which Modernism, named for its avant-garde propaganda, reveals itself to be dominated by a keen awareness, usually joyous, of the possibilities of the past recurring in the present. He argues that this idea represents a significant nexus in Modernism, an illuminating connection that explains some otherwise puzzling relationships.
