These novels-such as Wyndham Lewis's \u003ci\u003eThe Apes of God\u003c\/i\u003e, William Gaddis's \u003ci\u003eThe Recognitions\u003c\/i\u003e, and Gilbert Sorrentino's \u003ci\u003eImaginative Qualities of Actual Things\u003c\/i\u003e-were under-recognized and received poor reviews at the time of publication, but have increasingly been acknowledged as both groundbreaking and deeply influential. \u003ci\u003eSatirizing Modernism\u003c\/i\u003e analyzes these novels in order to present an alternative account of literary modernism, which should be viewed neither as a radical break with the past nor an outmoded set of aesthetics overtaken by a later postmodernism. In self-reflexively critiquing their own aesthetics, these works express an unconventional modernism that both revises literary history and continues to be felt today.\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eEmmett Stinson\u003c\/b\u003e is Lecturer in Literature and Writing at Deakin University, Australia.
