The lingering narrative of British modernism implies that formal innovations were achieved in the now canonised works of a small coterie of writers, railing at the horrors of modernity and mass culture. This research contend that a burgeoning print culture at the fin-de-siècle actually indicates unprecedented support for both revolutionary politics and creative freedom. This project examines how radical writers explored psychological experiences of modernity in literature given space in counter-cultural magazines between 1890-1920, and in doing so address issues of foregrounding 'high modernism' in scholarly explorations of this fascinating era.
