| Synopsis: |
Examining the forms of promotion that occurred in the advertising departments of publishing houses, the editorial offices of literary magazines, and in the minds of modern writers, Marketing Modernisms brings to the fore little-known and often critically unpopular connections between canonical writers such as Ezra Pound, T. S. Eliot, James Joyce, Virginia Woolf, and Langston Hughes and the commercial marketplace they engaged. The book's essays examine a range of provocative themes, including the strategies that modernists and their publishers employed to market their work, to fashion themselves as artists or celebrities, and to bridge the gap between an avante garde elite and the popular reader. Other essays explore the difficulties confronted by women, African American, and gay and lesbian writers in gaining literary acceptance and achieving commercial representation while maintaining the gendered, racial, and sexual aspects of their lives. |
