Morrison examines the modernist poetics of Ezra Pound and T. S. Eliot, and traces their influence on the current crisis in post-structuralist literary theory. He concludes with a provocative analysis of deconstruction and the work of Paul de Man.
The Poetics of Fascism is a remarkable achievement and its serious, important, and fervent argument deserves to attract a wide readership. Its scholarly, but always accessible, reframings of the relations among modernism, marxist thought, and poststructural criticism are certain to engage all who are interested in the politics of contemporary culture. With any luck this book will make it impossible to teach 'modernism as usual' ever again: impossible, that is, to celebrate a modernism whose ideology we ostentatiously fail, or pointedly refuse, to address. * Lee Edelman, Tufts University *
