Book Synopsis Legitimizing the Artist: Manifesto Writing and European Modernism 1885-1915 by : Luca Somigli
Book excerpt: 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 siecle" decadent poetics, exemplified by the manifestoes of Anatole Baju, to a properly avant-garde project.
