Manifesto

Included in this collection are texts ranging from Kurt Schwitters's Cow Manifesto to those written in the name of well-known movements-imagism, cubism, surrealism, symbolism, vorticism, projectivism-and less well-known ones-lettrism, acmeism, concretism, rayonism. Also covered are expressionist, Dada, and futurist movements from French, Italian, Russian, Spanish, and Latin American perspectives, as well as local movements, such as Brazilian hallucinism.

Influential, startling, unsettling, amusing, and continually engaging, these modernist manifestos give voice to a fascinating array of ideas and opinions that will prove invaluable to scholars and students of nineteenth and twentieth-century art, literature, and culture.
