Description
The London-based avant-garde movement Vorticism, like its continental counterparts Cubism and Futurism and its English rival Bloomsbury was created by artists, poets, writers, and artist-writers, as a project that defied disciplinary boundaries. Vorticism: New Perspectives is the first volume to attend to the full range of the movements innovations, providing investigations into every aspect of the Vorticists artistic production: their avant-garde experiments in print culture, art criticism, theater, poetry, exhibition practice, manifesto writing, literature, sculpture, painting, and photography. The rich and varied essays in this volume constitute a timely and comprehensive reassessment of a key chapter in the history of modernism, and will be of interest to scholars across the full range of the humanities.

Reviews
Vorticism: New Perspectives is groundbreaking. Replete with new understandings of the international phenomenons wide-ranging avant-garde practices and impacts, it will enjoin scholars of Modernism more familiar with the innovations of Cubism, Futurism, or Bloomsbury to give much more credence to Vorticism. Thanks to this volume, we can no longer construe this multifarious movement as a failed revolution. * Mark A. Cheetham, University of Toronto *
This remarkable volume of essays has reorientated the landscape of studies in Vorticism and modernism. The field must now recognize this moment as profoundly international in its ambition and impact, visually challenging in its formal innovations, and intellectually distinctive. The editors are to be congratulated for assembling a stellar cast of scholars to produce this multi-dimensional, extraordinarily stimulating and inspiring collection. * Tom Normand, University of St. Andrews *
This fine volume amply fulfills its subtitles promise, offering genuinely New Perspectives on the essential but neglected English avant-garde movement of Vorticism. The chaptersby leading experts in modernist literary and visual culturesignificantly enrich and enliven current discussions of this fascinating cultural movement; Vorticisms artworks, participants, influences and inspirations, competitors and legacies, and politics are all productively re-illuminated: an indispensable book. * Paul Peppis, University of Oregon *
