Modernism with Ali Smith and Kevin Jackson

Andrew Marr looks at the legacy of modernism with writers Ali Smith and Kevin Jackson, 大象传媒 arts editor Will Gompertz and composer Julian Anderson.

On Start the Week Andrew Marr looks at the legacy of modernism. Kevin Jackson returns to 1922, the year he argues changed the literary world with publications of Joyce's Ulysses and TS Eliot's The Waste Land. And Ali Smith reveals how her writing today melds different forms to explore style, love, death and the art of writing. But Will Gompertz and the composer Julian Anderson argue that art and music respectively embraced modernism earlier and more profoundly than the world of literature.
Producer: Katy Hickman.
