The print culture of the early twentieth century has become a major area of interest in contemporary Modernist Studies. "Modernism's Print Cultures" surveys the explosion of scholarship in this field and provides an incisive, well-informed guide for students and scholars alike. Surveying the key critical work of recent decades, the book explores such topics as: Periodical publishing--from "little magazines" such as Rhythm to glossy publications such as Vanity Fair; the material aspects of early twentieth-century publishing; small presses, typography, illustration and book design; the circulation of modernist print artefacts through the book trade, libraries, book clubs and cafes; educational and political print initiatives. Including accounts of archival material available online, targeted lists of key further reading and a survey of new trends in the field, this is an essential guide to an important area in the study of modernist literature.
