Abstract

This essay is the second part of my research devoted to Futurist manifestos from 1909 to 1911 and deals with the publishing history of the manifesto leaflets issued by Marinetti from February to the summer of 1910, when the founder of Futurism employed this print medium for the first time for a largescale propaganda initiative. It discusses the first edition of the Manifesto of the Futurist Painters, the Technical Manifesto of Futurist Paintings and Futurist Venice, and investigates their variant printings and editions in Italian, French and English. My investigations extend to Marinetti’s parallel publishing activites and have brought to light a number of previously unknown facts which help to establish a more accurate timeline of the developments in early Futurism. In the conclusion, this essay addresses the concept of manifesto leaflets as a new means of communication, which gradually replaced the medium of the magazine and allowed Marinetti to introduce new ways of managing Futurist propaganda and the membership of the Futurist group.
