This work "traces the intellectual and institutional deployment of the culture conept in England and America in the first half of the twentieth centyr. With primary attention to how models of culture are created, elaborated upon, transformed, resisted, and ignored. Marc Maganaro works across disciplinary lines to embrace literary, literary critical, and anthropological writing...Beginning with the important Victorian architects of culture -- Matthew Arnold and Edward Tylor -- the book follows a number of main figures, schools, and movements up to 1950 such as anthropologist Franz Boas, his disciples Edward Sapir, Ruth Benedict, and Zora Neale Hurston, literary modernists T. S. Eliot and James Joyce, functional anthropologist Bronislaw Malinowski, modernist literary critic I. A. Richads,, the New Critics, and Kenneth Burke. The main focus here, however, is upon three works published in 1922, the watershed years of Modernism -- Eliot's "The Wasteland," Malinowski's "Argonauts of the Western Pacific," and Joyce's "Ulysses.""
