The aesthetic of the strange -- The strange art and literature of modernism -- The strange art and literature of postmodernism -- The aesthetic of the strange as the aesthetic of modernism and postmodernism -- Theoretical foundations of the aesthetic of the strange.

Summary: This compact, indispensable overview answers a vexed question: Why do so many works of modern and postmodern literature and art seem designed to appear 'strange', and how can they still cause pleasure in the beholder? To help overcome the initial barrier caused by this 'strangeness', the general reader is given an initial, non-technical description of the 'aesthetic of the strange' as it is experienced in the reading or viewing process. There follows a broad survey of modern and postmodern trends, illustrating their staggering variety and making plain the manifold methods and strategies adopte.
