Notes

"This book collects essays that stem from a series of initiatives ... set up by a Dutch-Flemish research group and sponsored by the NWO and the FWO (respectively, the Dutch and Flemish Research Foundations). Running for eight years (2002-2009) the group's activities resulted in four book-length collections of essays in Dutch, a selection of which is presented here in translation"--Page 1.

"The first two books dealt with Modernisms from various European literatures (Modernisme(n) in de Europese letterkunde, 1910-1940, Leuven: Peeters, 2003; Modernisme(n) in de Europese letterkunde: een ander meervoud, Leuven: Peeters, 2005). The third volume looked at "arrière-gardes" (Arrière-garde. Modernisme(n) in de Europese letterkunds, deel 3, Amsterdam: Rozenberg, 2008), while the fourth and final book scrutinized the lasting influence of Modernism in more recent writing (De erfenis van het modernisme. Modernisme(n) in de Europese letterkunde, deel 4, Amsterdam: Rozenberg, 2010). All four volumes were edited by Jan Baetens, Sjef Houppermans, Arthur Langeveld and Peter Liebregts."--Page 1, footnote.
