Rezensionen

"This book off ers an original contribution to the field. Rather than just considering the thought of the Roman Catholic Modernists after the period of 'Crisis,' the contributors also address 'modernism' within the context of the Great War and the identity crisis of 'modernity' itself. As ultra-modern warfare caused unprecedented casualty counts, cultural catastrophe ensued, leading many to wonder, was rational 'civilization' actually irrational 'barbarism'? These essays make us reconsider the 'Modernist Crisis' within this broader traumatic historical context." Stephen Schloesser, Loyola University of Chicago, USA
