On the one hand, by the time of the New Critics and beyond scholars have felt the need to justify aesthetic achievements by separating art from life, or the result in the artifact from its programmatic intention, something most authors would strongly oppose. On the other hand, more recent critics have fully integrated aesthetics and politics, only to condemn the former together with the latter. This communication is an attempt to rearticulate the problem of reactionary modernism as it relates to time. By paying attention to the different kinds of temporality at work in the texts of great and minor conservative modernists a more complete vision of the contradictions they express and embody can be obtained. </font></p></td></tr></table></tr></td></table></body></html>
