 Item
Identifier: CC-27648-28730
Scope and Contents The work of Hoffmeister is presented in this catalogue in several phases.

Kerim Yasar, Princeton Univsersity reviewed this book (abridged by Sackner) on the Internet:William O. Gardner's Advertising Tower: Japanese Modernism and Modernity in the 1920s joins a growing body of English-language scholarship dealing with modernist and avant-garde writers and literary movements in interwar Japan. Gardner takes an explicitly historicist approach to his subject, writing that this work embraces the challenge "of probing the relationship between the modernist literatures that made a vivid appearance in the 1920s, and the rapidly transforming experience of urban life during the same period.
