The transnational modernist Mina Loy (1882-1966) embodied the
avant-garde in many literary and artistic media. This book
positions her as a theorist of the avant-garde and of what it means
to be an artist. Foregrounding Loy’s critical interrogation of
Futurist, Dadaist, Surrealist, and “Degenerate” artisthood, and
exploring her poetic legacies today, Curious Disciplines reveals
Loy’s importance in an entirely novel way. Examining the primary
texts produced by those movements themselves—their manifestos,
magazines, pamphlets, catalogues, and speeches—Sarah Hayden uses
close readings of Loy’s poetry, prose, polemics, and unpublished
writings to trace her response to how these movements wrote
themselves, collectively, into being.
