About this book

In this work Luca Somigli discusses several European artistic movements – decadentism, Italian futurism, vorticism, and imagism – and argues for the centrality of the works of F.T. Marinetti in the transition from a fin de siécle decadent poetics, exemplified by the manifestoes of Anatole Baju, to a properly avant-garde project.

Reviews

Times Literary Supplement:
‘In considering nascent modern art's uneasy relation to its transformed circumstances through the form of the Futurist Manifesto, Professor Somigli makes a valuable addition to an already cramped field.’
