{"product_id":"finding-shared-agency-in-modernist-histories","title":"Finding Shared Agency in Modernist Histories","description":"Ebook available to libraries exclusively as part of the JSTOR Path to Open intiative.   Past Action: Finding Shared Agency in Modernist Histories by Kelley Wagers offers a timely and thought-provoking reconsideration of how history functions in both literary and social life. At a moment when debates over the value, relevance, and political implications of historical study dominate public discourse, this book returns to a formative period in the early twentieth century to uncover how writers and historians grappled with similar concerns. Drawing on a range of American modernist texts published between 1918 and 1938, Wagers argues that history is not merely a record of past events but a dynamic social practice through which people recognize one another, construct meaning together, and enact collective agency.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57504790380917,"sku":"9781638042396","price":120.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/finding-shared-agency-in-modernist-histories","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
