"Modernism and Masculinity argues that a crisis of masculinity among European writers and artists played a key role in the modernist revolution. Gerald Izenberg revises the notion that the feminine provided a premodern refuge for artists critical of individualism and materialism. Industrialization and the growing power of the market inspired novelist Thomas Mann, playwright Frank Wedekind, and painter Wassily Kandinsky to feel the problematic character of their own masculinity.
As a result, these artists each came to identify creativity, transcendence, and freedom with the feminine."--BOOK JACKET.
