Modernism’s Mythic Pose by Carrie J. Preston This book recovers the tradition of Delsartism, a popular international movement that promoted bodily and vocal solo performances, particularly for women. This strain of classical-antimodernism shaped dance, film, and poetics. Its central figure, the mythic pose, expressed both skepticism and nostalgia and functioned as an ambivalent break from modernity. LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The ancient world served as an unconventional source of inspiration for a generation of modernists. Drawing on examples from literature, dance, photography, and film, Modernisms Mythic Pose argues that a strain of antimodern-classicism permeates modernist celebrations of novelty, shock, and technology.The touchstone of Prestons study is Delsartism–the popular transnational movement which promoted mythic statue–posing, poeticrecitation, and other hybrid solo performances for health and spiritual development. Derived from nineteenth-century acting theorist Francois Delsarte and largely organized by women, Delsartism shaped modernistperformances, genres, and ideas of gender. Even Ezra Pound, a famous promoter of the “new,” made ancient figures speak in the “old” genre of the dramatic monologue and performed public recitations. Recovering precedents in nineteenth-century popular entertainments and Delsartisms hybrid performances, this book considers the canonical modernists Pound and T. S. Eliot, lesser-known poets like Charlotte Mew, the Russian filmmaker Lev Kuleshov, Isadora Duncan the international dance star, and H.D.as poet and film actor. Prestons interdisciplinary engagement with performance, poetics, modern dance, and silent film demonstrates that studies of modernism often overemphasizebreaks with the past. Modernism also posed myth in an ambivalent relationship to modernity, a halt in the march of progress that could function as escapism, skeptical critique, or a figure for the death of gods and civilizations.

Post-Antimodernism Review “Clearly written and carefully researched, this study systematically analyzes the semiotics of gesture. Recommended.” –CHOICE”In this carefully researched study, Carrie J. Preston uncovers the myriad influences of French movement visionary Francois Delsarte on modern dance, film, and literature, and reminds us of the importance of performance history for understanding modernism more generally.” –Martin Puchner, author of The Drama of Ideas”Lucidly written and solidly argued, Modernisms Mythic Pose excavates a fascinating classicist-antimodernist genealogy of modernism. Prestons impressive historical research interrupts the standard gendered dichotomy of antimodernism and avant-gardism and makes an important contribution to reconceiving transatlantic modernism.” –Laura Winkiel, author of Modernism, Race, and Manifestos Long Description The ancient world served as an unconventional source of inspiration for a generation of modernists.
