Modernity

Modernity is ubiquitous, unavoidable and indecipherable. This exciting volume in the Transitions series explores both history and contemporary ideas, pushing forward the boundaries of what we can understand by "modernity". Like other titles in the series, the book is distinguished from its competitors by its clear focus on close readings of commonly-studied texts and a strict policy on writing for an undergraduate readership.
