Australian engagement with the experience of international modernity from the late nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century currently forms the subject of research in many fields of cultural endeavour: in architecture, fine arts, design, cinema, theatre, and music; in urban studies, literary history and Aboriginal studies. Impact of the Modern brings together examples of this new interdisciplinary work on modern Australian culture by twenty one leading scholars. Their writings reveal an original account of 'modernising¿ Australia as dynamic and creative in many art forms, and interactively linked with international processes and ideas.
