Abstract

"Manet, Flaubert, and the Emergence of Modernism weaves together art history and literary criticism in a joint study of the canonical "fathers" of modernism. In this work, Arden Reed contests the Greenbergian view that equates modernism with purity of formal means. Modernism, he argues, is a matter of genre bending and hybridization, as well as movements between text and image. Focusing on key works by Manet and Flaubert, Reed articulates a novel understanding of the cultural imagination of early modernism. He shows how Manet and Flaubert actively mix and contaminate their work: Flaubert with images, Manet with narration. Moreover, Reed extends the argument another hundred years, to the late 1960s, claiming we cannot understand twentieth-century modernism so long as we remain locked within single disciplines."--Jacket.
