Joyce Wexler is Professor and Chair of the English Department at Loyola University Chicago, USA. She is the author of three books, including Who Paid for Modernism? (1997). She has published widely on twentieth-century aesthetic movements, cultural studies, publishing history, Conrad, Joyce, and Lawrence, and is Vice President of the D.H. Lawrence Society of North America.

Joyce Wexler makes an important, theoretically informed argument about the many ways in which the experimental indeterminacies of modernist form respond to the social and historical dilemmas of the long twentieth century. She provides a coherent account of an exceptional variety of texts without oversimplifications that ignore or reduce their differences. Students, teachers, and readers of all kinds will find this book an accessible, engaging introduction to modern fiction in particular and to the modern period in general.
