His assault upon\n\u003cbr\u003ehis contemporaries foreshadowed the twenty-first century scholarly interest in\n\u003cbr\u003ethe networks, professions, and coteries - rather than the myths and heroics -\n\u003cbr\u003eof modernism. Lewis, after a long period of neglect, now sits increasingly at\n\u003cbr\u003ethe heart of a revised field of modernist studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book explores Lewis's\n\u003cbr\u003ecultural criticism as a valuable body of writing which posed questions that\n\u003cbr\u003ehave yet to be answered about subsidy and the function of the artist, about\n\u003cbr\u003eprofessionalism and ethics, about who should pay for the arts, and what the\n\u003cbr\u003eartist's obligations should be in return. It is the first book-length study of\n\u003cbr\u003ethis body of critical writing, through which Lewis articulated the central and\n\u003cbr\u003emost lasting of his critical preoccupations: the question of how the work of\n\u003cbr\u003ethe artist is to be valued, and the artist to be paid, in a professionalised\n\u003cbr\u003esociety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis book makes an\n\u003cbr\u003eimportant contribution to the long overdue reassessment of a complex,\n\u003cbr\u003econtrarian figure, spanning the disciplines of literature and the visual arts,\n\u003cbr\u003ewho asked pressing questions about the role and status of the artist, and\\nultimately about the value (economic, civic, political) of the work of art.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Liverpool University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42642915065931,"sku":"00000_00000_00000_00000","price":2103.19,"currency_code":"THB","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0641\/0023\/7387\/files\/9781802078190-1.jpg?v=1783475736","url":"https:\/\/kinokuniya.co.th\/products\/9781802078190","provider":"Books Kinokuniya Thailand","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
