The Cambridge History of American Modernism

Vagabonds, Tramps, and Hobos

Mark Whalan | University of Oregon

The Literature and Culture of U.S. Transiency 1890–1940 Owen Clayton | University of Lincoln

Covering key forms, media, locations, individuals, and communities, this book addresses both familiar topics and emergent scholarship. Seeing US modernism as fundamentally multiracial, both national and transnational, and steeped in the markets of new mass media, this will be the benchmark volume on US literary modernism for years to come.

This book frames transiency within a nineteenthcentury literary tradition of the vagabond, a figure who attempts to travel without money. It explores the diversity of meanings that accrue around ‘the hobo’ and ‘the tramp’. It provides new ways for scholars to think about the activity and representation of US transiency.

Writing, Politics and Change in South Africa after Apartheid

Persianate Verse and the Poetics of Eastern Internationalism

Christopher Warnes | University of Cambridge

Samuel Hodgkin | Yale University, Connecticut

This book shows how South African writing can help us to understand change after apartheid. It focusses on changes in the workplace, land reform, indigenous knowledge, xenophobia, corruption and crime, arguing that literary and cultural texts have a unique and powerful capacity for illuminating these issues.

This is the first book to bring together the modern literature of Iran, Turkey, the multinational Soviet Union, and South Asia into a single connected story. It traces the process by which leftist poets from across Eurasia made classical Persianate poetry into the beating heart of non-Western literary internationalism.
