Opis

The expansion of the readership for modernism was not only vertical but also spatial - since publisher's series were distributed within and outside metropolitan centres in Britain, continental Europe and elsewhere. Cheap Modernism will be of interest to all those who want to know how the new literature became a global commercial hit.
