“David Trotter’s brilliant study is a radical exploration of literature in its relations to technologies and material cultures between the wars. It offers inspired new ways of understanding the preoccupations and aspirations of a period, through models of connectivity and communication which will displace our now familiar maps of early twentieth-century texts and contexts. Literature in the First Media Age is surprising and illuminating at every turn.”—Laura Marcus, Oxford University
“Literature in the First Media Age is a work of exhilarating virtuosity and great interpretative power. Elegantly conceived, original, inventive and generative, it will stand as an indispensable text in modernist studies.”—Michael Levenson, University of Virginia
“The originality of the work shows itself in every chapter. We can be grateful to David Trotter for changing our understanding of a decisive epoch in cultural history.”—Edward Dimendberg, University of California, Irvine
