Modernism’s Print Cultures

Hammill and Hussey explore scholarship on print culture as an aspect of modernist studies that has expanded and gathered force since the early 1990s. They also show that print culture has been part of modernist studies since its inception. They consider sensuous print in terms of bibliographic codes and the study of the page; art and the book; and design, image, and typeface. Under print in circulation, they look at networks; sites of circulation; and finance, marketplace, and celebrity. A final section on purposeful print covers educational print and the middlebrow, political print, and copyright and censorship. Annotation ©2016 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
