The other futurism

"In The Other Futurism, Willard Bohn examines the work of Futurists in Venice, Padua, and Verona from 1909 to 1944. He considers these local artists and writers both in terms of their relationship with F. T. Marinetti, who remained the major theorist and organizer of Futurist activities, and their own specific adaptations and appropriations of Futurist theory. Conceived as a combination literary history and critical study, The Other Futurism looks at various examples of literature, visual arts, and the performing arts and, using a series of rare documents, sheds new light on the complex cultural and political issues at the heart of this neglected chapter in Italy's history."--BOOK JACKET.
