DOI:
https://doi.org/10.26754/ojs_misc/mj.199911232Abstract
The Introduction gives an overview of the commitment to cosmopolitanism in the lives and writing of the major Anglophone modernists, and discusses the importance of the concept of translation and transition in their work. It considers the particular relationship of the American modernists to the European tradition; and it reviews briefly the different areas of the classical and contemporary European heritage nominated by the contributors to the volume.
