Description
The Hogarth Press and the Networks of Modernism explores the relationships forged by Leonard and Virginia Woolf through their publishing venture. This collection of essays delves into the impact of editorial choices on writing and culture, combining literary criticism, book history, biography, and sociology. Scholars from the UK and US examine previously unpublished archival materials to gauge the influence of the Hogarth Press on lesser-known authors, artists, and press workers alongside canonical names. The book addresses topics such as imperialism, the middlebrow, religion, translation, and poetry, featuring case studies on C.L.R. James, Huw Menai, Joan Easdale, and E. McKnight Kauffer. By weaving together stories of authors, artists, and press workers, this original collection contributes to three vibrant sub-fields in twentieth-century scholarship: print culture, modernist studies, and Woolf studies.
