Trade Review
"This compelling book demonstrates the pivotal role of modernist aesthetics in the cultivation of modern intimacies. Ranging widely across media, these essays explore intimacy through the affects, forms, and proximate histories that made private life for the moderns a public and deeply political matter. A smart pre-history of the mediated intimacy of the contemporary." -Justus Nieland, Michigan State University
