Description: This volume argues that parody is central to modernism and shows that as a literary technique, parody was a means for modernists to learn their craft, sharpen their historical sense, and define themselves as post-Victorians.

Review Quotes: "Modernist Parody is an extremely well-structured book, filled to the brim with new readings and fresh insights, and built on original and thorough research." -- Geert Lernout, James Joyce Quarterly
