5 - Cycles, Rotation and the Image: Cecil Gray’s Music History and H. D.’s Imagism
Summary
So far I have argued that lateness in interwar modernism involved a particular attitude towards time, subjectivity and the public. I have described this form of relation in terms of ascribing epistemic value to autonomy and impersonality, and as involving intellectual practices associated with classicism. This form of relation, and the habits of mind through which they were manifest, exhibited lateness in the sense of enabling a withdrawal from narratives of either progress or revolution, and indeed from the terms of codification altogether.
