Feldman sheds a pragmatist light on the relation between the Victorian age and Modernism by dislodging truistic notions of Modernism as an art of crisis, rupture and loss. Examining the works of John Ruskin, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, and the best-selling domestic novelist Augusta Evans, Feldman relates them to selected twentieth-century creations.
