By demonstrating that many of the concepts and styles associated with modernism were actually derived directly from cultures such as Japan, China, Korea, India, Egypt, Assyria, West Africa, and the Pacific Islands, this book provides an entirely new way of looking at the evolution of modernist art and literature in the West.

Rupert Richard Arrowsmith grew up in Kenya, the Seychelles, and Cornwall in the Southwest of England. He has an MA from UCL, and completed his DPhil at Oxford University (Christ Church) in 2008. He has spent more than ten years studying and teaching in various parts of Asia - including long periods in Japan, Burma, Singapore, and India - and has previously lectured at Oxford and SOAS. His research focuses on transcultural tendencies in literature and visual art, particularly with regard to influences from Eastern and Southern Asia on global culture during the twentieth and twenty-first centuries.
