Endless Melody: A Theoretical Excursion Coda: Moments, Monuments, and Modernism BibliographyReviewsJed Rasula's History of a Shiver fundamentally rewrites the genealogy of modernism. Much studied, modernism has become comfortably familiar. Rasula's vastly learned and lucid study defamiliarizes it again, recovering the inherent strangeness and polymorphism of modernist art and aesthetics and embedding them in a dazzling network of cross-references--some inevitable, some surprising, some long forgotten, but all fascinating. --Lawrence Kramer, author of Expression and Truth: On the Music of Knowledge Jed Rasula's History of a Shiver makes a handsome addition to the growing corpus of modernist criticism. A compelling cultural history that brings many polyphonic strands of debate together, it provides a necessary refinement of both modernism's history and the interplay of its constituent ideas. --Simon Shaw-Miller, author of Visible Deeds of Music: Art and Music from Wagner to Cage Rasula has composed a book of striking intellectual virtuosity and wide historical reach. The unsettlements of Modernism--its mixing of forms, its synesthestic longings, its Wagnerism, its unreconciled self-surpassing vigor-have never been more vividly rendered. Written with a verve and provocation worthy of its subject, History of a Shiver deserves immediate attention and long patient study. --Michael Levenson, author of Modernism Breathtaking and beautifully written, Jed Rasulas History of a Shiver: The Sublime Impudence of Modernism is a masterpiece of modernist criticism. Drawing on a vast archive of texts, paintings, scripts, scores, and historical anecdotes, Rasula traces the genealogies of modernism across the arts. * Modern Language Association * Author InformationJed Rasula is Helen S.
