AMERICAN MODERN(IST) EPIC American Modern(ist) Epic argues that during the 1920s and 1930s a cadre of minority novelists revitalized the classic epic form in an effort to recast the United States according to modern, diverse, and pluralistic grounds. Rather than adhere to the reification of static culture (as did ancient verse epic), in their prose epics Gertrude Stein and John Dos Passos utilized recursion, bricolage, and polyphony to represent the multifarious immediacy and movement of the modern world. Meanwhile, H. T. Tsiang and Richard Wright created absurd and insipid anti-heroes for their epics, contesting the hegemony of Angloand capitalist dominance in the United States. In all, these modern(ist) epic novels undermined and revised the foundational ideology of the United States, contesting notions of individualism, progress, and racial hegemony while modernizing the epic form in an effort to refound the nation. Nemmers’s engaging study helps to reveal the vitality of epic in the twentiethcentury American literature. Far from the stolid genre of the traditional canon, epic is fused here with modernity, experimental forms of prose fiction, Marxistic activism, and democratic and ethnic diversity. What emerges is a fresh sense of a national myth forged over the first decades of the century by authors ranging from Gertrude Stein to Richard Wright. The original and timely treatment of Hsi Tse Tsiang, in particular, brings to light a fascinating little known ChineseAmerican writer with panache and clarity. Throughout, the readings are nested in rich historical contexts
that bring to life a period and its most ambitious literary projects. A thoroughly readable account of an overlooked genre this book will prove valuable to students and scholars alike.
