- Summary:
- Anglo-American modernist writing and the modern mass democratic state emerged at the same time, during 1900-1930. Potter charts the changes in the ideas of democracy, and discusses the range of reactions to these changes. She argues that modernist poems were shaped by rapidly evolving and complicated ideas of democracy.
