| book description |

Modernism, Christianity and Apocalypse stages an encounter between the fields of â€˜Modernism and Christianityâ€™ and â€˜Apocalypse Studiesâ€™. The modernist impulse to â€˜make it newâ€™, to transform and reform culture, is an incipiently apocalyptic one, poised between imaginative representations of an Old Era or civilization and the experimental promise of the New. Christianity figures in formative tension with the â€˜newâ€™, but its apocalyptic paradigms continued to impact modernist visions of cultural revitalization. In three sections tracing a rough chronology from the late nineteenth century fin de siÃ¨cle, via interwar conflicts and the rise of â€˜political religionsâ€™, to post-1945 anxieties such as the Bomb, this thematic is explored in nineteen far-ranging scholarly contributions, outlining a distinctive and fresh interdisciplinary field of study.
