[ePub] Scorsese: Virgin Film by Jim Sangster at Arts-Photography

Description

Modernism and the Architecture of Private Life offers a bold new assessment of the role of the domestic sphere in modernist literature; architecture; and design. Elegantly synthesizing modernist literature with architectural plans; room designs; and decorative art; Victoria Rosners work explores the collaborations among modern British writers; interior designers; and architects in redefining the form; function; and meaning of middle-class private life. Drawing on a host of previously unexamined archival sources and works by figures such as E. M. Forster; Roger Fry; Oscar Wilde; James McNeill Whistler; and Virginia Woolf; Rosner highlights the participation of modernist literature in the creation of an experimental; embodied; and unstructured private life; which we continue to characterize as "modern."
