Reviews

This superb new account of Futurism traces the impact of the avant-garde Italian movement upon Anglophone modernism. In a series of richly researched chapters on Harold Monro, Wyndham Lewis, and Mina Loy, the book provides the most comprehensive cultural history of Futurism in Britain yet, demonstrating how many writers welcomed the Futurist desire to bridge the divide between art and life as a counter to British national decline and decadence in art. The book benefits from extensive research into archives and periodicals to bring some brilliant new insights into how Futurism was received. This is a book that will thoroughly revise our understanding of Futurism and of modernism in Britain. -- Andrew Thacker, Professor of English Literature, Nottingham Trent University, UK
