Leonard and Virginia Woolf, the Hogarth Press and the Networks of Modernism

Combining literary criticism, book history, biography, and sociology, these chapters weave together the stories of the lesser known authors, artists, and press workers with the canonical names linked to the Hogarth Press. Using previously unpublished archived material, the book presents case studies on West Indian writer C.L.R. James, Welsh poet Huw Menai, child poet Joan Easdale, and American artist E. McKnight Kauffer and studies the topics of imperialism, the middlebrow, religion, translation, the marketplace, and poetry, which dominated the era of their work.
