Book review of Gualberto Valverde, Rebeca (2021). Wasteland Modernism: The Disenchantment of Myth. Valencia: Publicacions de la Universitat de València.
The review starts with the description of the structure of the book, where part one presents research about modernism in cinema, and part two offers a rich historical analysis of late modernism phase ...in Polish cinema of 1970s and 1980s. The review underlines the book's focus not only on textual analysis, but also on institutional frameworks of late modern cinema. The book is a brilliant proposal to refresh the conceptual framework of discussion about Polish cinema of late 20th century. Trzej twórcy (Andrzej Żuławski, Grzegorz Królikiewicz i Piotr Szulkin), których filmy Miłosz Stelmach bliżej analizuje, mniej więcej przed dekadą stali się obiektem procesu przywracania ich do kanonu za pośrednictwem cennych wywiadów rzek, przeprowadzonych przez Piotra Kłetowskiego i Piotra Mareckiego, które ukazywały się w wydawnictwie Ha!art.
The new articles in this volume by Lingxiang Ke, John Pedro Schwartz, and Kathryn Van Wert-together with Jeanette McVicker's important contribution to Woof Studies Annual 28 (2022)-form a cluster of ...studies marking the centenary of 1922, modernism's annus mirabilis and publication year of Virginia Woolf's Jacob s Room. In addition to these articles and a number of reviews of new books in the field, WSA 29 also continues the Index Project started in volume 28, this time indexing articles published in WSA 11-15 (2005-2009). WSA 29 also features a forum of essays in response to Mark Hussey's Clive Bell and the Making of Modernism (2021)-a text that fundamentally reorients Bell for readers not only of Woolf but also of Bloomsbury and twentieth-century art criticism and history more broadly.

Much of the literary and cultural theory developed throughout the twentieth century relied on modernist texts and artefacts as both example and paradigm. This Dictionary collects, categorises and ...intersects literary, aesthetic, political and cultural terms that in one way or another came into being through the debates, conflicts, co-operations, experiments – individual and collective – that characterised modernism. In concise entries from international experts, it presents the terms, categories, concepts, tropes, movements, forged through the modernist upheavals (at once aesthetic and political), highlighting their genealogy, their modernist ‘newness’, and their historical longevity.
