This work investigates how twentieth-century modernist authors utilized the material ephemera of print culture—such as wastepaper, scraps, and discarded documents—to construct new aesthetic frameworks. Joseph Elkanah Rosenberg, a scholar of modern literature and media, examines the intersection of physical print artifacts and narrative form. He argues that the modernist preoccupation with the 'waste' of the printing industry reflects a broader anxiety regarding the permanence and value of the written word in an era of mass production.
