The Culture of Time and Space, 1880-1918: With a New Preface
This book, while very erudite and well-researched, is actually only a very shallow analysis of the major shifts in world-view that occurred at the end of the 19th/beginning of the 20th centuries. I was expecting a more theoretical approach, I suppose, and those expectations were decidedly not met. But if you're interested in reading a very broad cultural history of Europe between 1880 and 1918, this would probably be a good place to start. Just don't expect any mind-blowing theories about the actual nature of these changes in world-view amid page after page of close readings of the usual suspects: Kafka, Proust, Mann, Stein, and the visual artists Picasso, Cézanne, Braque, etc. IMHO, Marinetti deserved a lot more space than he actually got. But kudos to the author for leaving the Britain-France-Germany paradigm to include work by Ortega y Gasset in his analysis.
