The Modern Artist as Historian, Courtier, and Saint: Pound, Burckhardt Vasari Summary This valuable study offers new insights and contextualization regarding the relation of nationalism to modernism. Hinojosa shows how many writers and critics in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, using Renaissance historiography as a model, produced cultural, art, and literary history to promote two often-competing goals: national culture and modernist culture. Reading authors such as Ruskin, Symonds, Arnold, Pater, Fry, Berenson, Hulme, Pound, and Saintsbury alongside relevant archival and periodical literature, Hinojosa reveals the structures of modernist historiography, high and low culture, and historical periodization. This book should interest literary and art historians in modernist, Victorian, Shakespeare, and Renaissance studies, as well as scholars of cultural studies and cultural history Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 229-241) and index Notes Print version record Subject English literature -- 19th century -- History and criticism English literature -- 20th century -- History and criticism Renaissance -- Historiography -- History -- 19th century Renaissance -- Historiography -- History -- 20th century English literature -- Early modern, 1500-1700 -- History and criticism Literature and society -- Great Britain -- History -- 16th century Literature and society -- Great Britain -- History -- 17th century Modernism (Literature) -- England Renaissance -- Historiography -- 19th century Renaissance -- Historiography -- 20th century European history -- Western Continental Europe -- Europe.
