Book Synopsis
This work argues that a crisis of masculinity among European writers and artists played a key role in the modernist revolution. The author revises the notion that the feminine provided a pre-modern refuge for artists critical of individualism and materialism.

Trade Review
"The skill, sympathy, and percipience with which Izenberg analyzes the lives and contexts of his subjects are simply outstanding." - Chandak Sengoopta, American Historical Review "This consistently perceptive and thoughtful book both deepens and recasts our understanding of the pre-World War I crisis of masculinity, while simultaneously showing how powerfully that crisis affected the lives and work of three exemplary modernists. Izenberg makes a significant contribution to both cultural history and the history of gender relations." - Jerrold Seigel, author of Bohemian Paris and The Private Worlds of Marcel Duchamp
