With Knossos and the Prophets of Modernism, Cathy Gere relates the fascinating story of Evanss excavation and its long-term effects on Western culture. After the World War I left the Enlightenment dream in tatters, the lost paradise that Evans offered in the concrete labyrinth-pacifist and matriarchal, pagan and cosmic-seemed to offer a new way forward for writers, artists, and thinkers such as Sigmund Freud, James Joyce, Giorgio de Chirico, Robert Graves, and Hilda Doolittle.Assembling a brilliant, talented, and eccentric cast at a moment of tremendous intellectual vitality and wrenching change, Cathy Gere paints an unforgettable portrait of the age of concrete and the birth of modernism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51678144463136,"sku":"NEW0226289532","price":44.16,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61VrRFT1hfL.jpg?v=1779304688","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/knossos-and-the-prophets-of-modernism-0226289532","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
