Reviews:

• [T]his encyclopedia has no direct competitor....numerous companions and critical studies about individual authors, aspects, or themes of modernism provide similar information, but none covers the field so comprehensively nor is intended for undergraduates wanting to learn more about literary modernism....An exemplary title....Recommended. General readers; undergraduates; graduate students.

• [O]ffers a rich tapestry an unique and diverse as Joyce's Bloomusalem. It maps the convergences between many places, principles and texts alongside reliable factual information, while paying careful attention to the nuances of the various political and aesthetic ideologies....[t]he international perspective found here, easily justifies it as a valuable addition to any college library....[a] unique resource for the student of modernism....[a] book that might well become a landmark.
  —ENGLISH The Journal of the English Association Spring 2005
• The preface claims the purpose of this work is to fill the gap of a quick reference book on modernism and it performs this role admirably.

• Students anxious to comprehend the cacophonous clamor of cubist caterwauling, but unsure where to start, will find much to appreciate in this wonderful book. With signed articles that run from couple of paragraphs to a few pages, this collection shines with intelligence, insight, and care....Poplawski has pieced together possibly the best resource yet on the subject.
  —School Library Journal August 2004
• Encyclopedia of Literary Modernism will be most useful for academic libraries, but larger public and high-school libraries could benefit from having clearly presented ready-reference material on this "influential artistic-cultural phenomenon" available in a single volume.
  —Booklist/Reference Books Bulletin July 2004
• For students and readers having difficulty grasping the enormous changes encompassed in the development of modernism, this guide will be most helpful.
