Reviews

Mock Modernism is fascinating, and sometimes even delightful. I have never seen anything quite like it. - Marsha Bryant, Department of English, University of Florida It is a delight to meet such characters as J.C. Squire, Edmund George Valpy Knox, and Don Marquis, as well as to see more familiar writers such as Louis Untermeyer and Ford Madox Ford poke fun at the pretenses of their contemporaries. - Martha C. Carpentier, Department of English, Seton Hall University
