Johns Hopkins University Press Modernist Impulses in the Human Sciences 1870-1930 by Dorothy Ross

While much has been written about the modernist movement in the arts at the turn of the century, this is the first book since H.

It is also the first book to explore that history in light of the contemporary debate.show more
