Excellent- More about Hotel Modernisms
The hotel is a key site of modernity, shaped by transnational and transcultural modernist activity. It complicates binaries such as public and private, risk and rootedness, and convention and experimentation. The study of the hotel in the work of authors such as E. M. Forster, Katherine Mansfield, Kay Boyle, and Joseph Roth reveals how it nuances mobilities, networks, and communities in terms of gender, nation, and class.

The hotel emerges as a central site of modernity in this collection of essays,a dynamic space that facilitated the transnational and transcultural modernist movement of the first half of the twentieth century. As a metaphor for social and cultural mobility, transient and precarious ways of living, and personal and political transformations, the hotel space in modernist writing complicates binaries such as public and private, risk and rootedness, and convention and experimentation. Moreover, it serves as a fertile ground for modernist production, fostering the cross-pollination of diverse literary, cultural, national, and affective modes. By examining the hotel in the works of authors like E.M. Forster, Katherine Mansfield, Kay Boyle, and Joseph Roth, the study reveals how the hotel nuances notions of mobility, networks, and communities in terms of gender, nation, and class.
In contrast, Mary Butts, Djuna Barnes, Anaïs Nin, and Denton Welch explore the emotional and bodily states that arise from the alienation experienced in liminal hotel spaces, leading to new poetics of space. On the other hand, Vicki Baum, Georg Lukács, James Joyce, and Elizabeth Bishop delve into the socio-political and cultural conflicts that manifest within and through the hotel. This volume invites us to consider "hotel modernisms" as situated within or enabled by this dynamic space. Spanning national and class boundaries, it views the hotel as the epitome of the transcultural space of modernity.
