Ably introduced by Caughie and building on a broad range of theoretical and cultural studie work by Diane Gillepsie, Brenda Silver, Gillian Beer, and others, the ten essays first pair Woolf and Walter Benjamin as beleaguered intellectuals in the marketplace (p.1) and analysts of modern machine-age European culture.
