Hustlers in the Ivory Tower: Press and Modernism from Mallarme to Proust

Hustlers in the Ivory Tower explores how French modernist writers, including MallarmÃ(c), Apollinaire, and Proust, used newspapers and magazines as a forum for literary experimentation. The book shows how these interactions with the press yielded nuanced, self-conscious portrayals of the tensions between journalism and literature in modernist poetry and prose fiction.
