Commonwealth of Letters by Peter J Kalliney

Peter Kalliney's original archival work demonstrates that metropolitan and colonial intellectuals used modernist theories of aesthetic autonomy to facilitate collaborative ventures.
It is the mapping of the literary networks, rivalries, allegiances and collaborations that marks Kalliney's book out as an important contribution in this turn of postcolonial studies to interaction with modernist periodicity and aesthetics.. Kalliney offers a truly expansive study of the importance of migration in the developmental history of modernism. * Robert McLaughlan and Neelam Srivastava, Years Work in Critical and Cultural Theory *
Kalliney deals with this relationship between modernist and postcolonial literatures deftly, offering a new perspective on an era of literary history that is all too often characterized by antagonism between Anglo-American modernism and postcolonial politics * Matthew Whittle, Journal of Postcolonial Writing *
Peter Kalliney is Associate Professor of English at the University of Kentucky. He is the author of Cities of Affluence and Anger: A Literary Geography of Modern Englishness.
