Modernism: An Anthology of Sources and Documents

In teaching modernism, it is essential to have the manifesti, the cultural criticism, the political discourses right at hand when discussing what makes modernism so "different", so that students can understand why there is a "before" and "after" with regard to modernism. This anthology provides an economical way to access all those source documents that is convenient for both them and for the professor. The selection is broad enough that you can tailor the selections to whichever facet of modernism you may be covering in class, and students will still have ample documents to explore when researching final projects. My copy of this anthology is well-worn and beaten up, and that's always a good sign for any book.

A massive collection of short extracts from commentaries and other works essential to the era known as Modernism. This is a great reference, but for deeper understanding, one should go directly to the originals of the works referenced.
