Summary:

Braddock (English, Cornell U.) shows how the scholarly act of collecting, collaging, referencing, and anthologizing helped shape and define the modernist art movement. Beginning with the influence of Pound's influential anthology Des Imagists, and the controversy around The Lyric Year, and moving through important museum collections such as the Phillips Memorial Gallery and the Barnes Foundation finishing with a chapter on The New Negro Anthology and on modernism's archives, Braddock provides critical readings of both individual poems and anthologies, while showing how the act, and art, of collecting became an essential part of modernist art movement.
