2010ref. SS-EZG8-B9VD2010 OUP hardcover edition. Ex library copy with stamps and labels else good condition. This book is a re-examination of the fertile years of early modernism immediately preceding the First World War. During this period how where and under whose terms the avant-garde in Britain would be constructed and consumed were very much to play for. It is the first study to look in detail at two little magazines marginalised from many accounts of this competitive process: Rhythm and the Blue Review. By thoroughly examining not only the content but the interrelated networks that created and surrounded these publications Faith Binckes aims to contribute a fresh and challenging perspective to the on-going reappraisal of modernism. Founded in 1911 and 1913 edited by John Middleton Murry with assistance from Michael Sadleir and subsequently from Katherine Mansfield these magazines figured in a series of pivotal developments. They were the arena for a challenge to Roger Fry's vision of Post-Impressionism for the introduction of Picasso to a British audience for early short stories and reviews by Lawrence and for Mansfield's discovery of a voice in which to frame her breakthrough writing on New Zealand. A further context for many of these experiments was the extended and acrimonious debate Rhythm conducted with A.R. Orage's New Age in which issues of the proper gender generation and formulation of modernity were debated month by month. However reading these magazines as vehicles for avant-garde development can only provide half the story. This book also pays close attention to their dialogic reproductive and periodical nature exploring the impact of these elements on the emerging terminology of the 'new'. Binckes argues that periodicals offer compelling evidence for the consistently mobile and multiple boundaries of the modern and puts forward a compelling case for focusing upon the specificity of magazines as a medium for literary and artistic innovation.

Series: Sather Classical Lectures volume 30. ‘To span the whole gamut of Greek and Macedonian warfare in six short chapters ia s massive task. A. reduces this to workable proportions by concerning himself largely with the factors which determined the character of warfare at each successive stage and which caused development from one stage to the next and by employing an economical style which yet sacrifices nothing of precision or charm. The result is a book surprisingly full of information and of interpretations always interesting sometimes provocative.’ E.W. MARSDEN in The Journal of Hellenic Studies 1960 pp.224-225.
