A welcome and long-overdue examination...a valuable resource for
scholarship on Virginia Woolf, modernist print culture, and
modernist studies in general.
*Archiv*
Through its richly detailed contributions, wide in scope, Leonard
and Virginia Woolf, the Hofarth Press and the Networks of Modernism
demonstrates that vital forces for change include variegated
strands of artistry and revolution, and that these strands cannot
in the end be separated when we consider Leonard, Virginia and the
Hogarth Press.
*Virginia Woolf Bulletin*
Important reading not just for Woolf critics, but also for those
more generally interested in the history of the book, modernist
publishing, network theory, and cultural studies. And when its own
dust jacket has long ago been discarded by those devourers of time
(aka library shelving practices), these essays will remind us that
what has been materially lost or hidden from view is well worth
digging up, re-presenting, and crafting into new narratives that
challenge the orthodox view.
*Woolf Studies Annual, Volume 18, 2012*
These essays catalyze a vital critical dialogue about how the
"real" world of publishing and book production reflexively shaped
the Woolfs’ aesthetic and political worldviews... important reading
not just for Woolf critics, but also for those more generally
interested in the history of the book, modernist publishing,
network theory, and cultural studies.
