Modernist writers understood themselves to be living in an epochal moment when the design and meaning of home life were reconceived. Moving among literature, architecture, design, science, and technology, \u003cem\u003eMachines for Living\u003c\/em\u003e shows how the modernization of the home led to profound changes in domestic life and relied on a set of emergent concepts, including standardization, scientific method, functionalism, efficiency science, and others, that form the basis of literary modernism and stand at the confluence of modernism and modernity. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eEven as modernist writers criticized the expanding reach of modernization into the home, they drew on its conceptual vocabulary to develop both the thematic and formal commitments of literary modernism. Rosner's work develops a new methodology for interdisciplinary modernist studies and shows how the reinvention of domestic life is central to modernist literature.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eVictoria Rosner, \u003cem\u003eDean of the Gallatin School and Professor of Humanities and English, New York University\u003c\/em\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eVictoria Rosner is Dean of the New York University Gallatin School and Professor of Humanities and English.
