Critic Reviews

“Gasiorek and Waddell should be commended for bringing together a truly impressive cast of authorities on Lewis, who reaffirm here the provocative vitality of Lewis's work for modernist studies today. Critically eclectic and thematically comprehensive, this book combines broader cultural and literary-historical essays with energetic readings of key novels from Lewis's formidable oeuvre.”

a welcome addition to the bookshelves of university libraries, graduate students, and professors who teach or research modernist literature and art.--Heather Fielding, Purdue University Northwest "Journal of Wyndham Lewis Studies "
