The Manifesto Handbook describes the hidden life of an undervalued
genre: the conduit for declarations of principle, advertisements
for new "isms," and provocations in pamphlet form. Often physically
slight and small in scale, the manifesto is always grand in style
and ambition. A bold, charismatic genre, it has founded some of the
most important and revolutionary movements in modern history, from
the declaration of wars and the birth of nations to the launch of
countless social, political and artistic movements worldwide.
Julian Hanna provides a brief genealogy of the genre, analyses its
complex speaking position, traces the material process of manifesto
making from production to dissemination, unpacks its extremist
underbelly, and follows the twenty-first century resurgence of the
manifesto as a re-politicised and reinvigorated digital form.
"This book provides a comprehensive overview of the great era of
literary innovation that produced such giants as James Joyce,
Virginia Woolf, and T. S. Eliot. Drawing on a wide selection of
texts from 1890 to 1945, the volume covers the major figures
studied while also introducing readers to all the essential
movements and ideas of this exciting period."--BOOK JACKET.
