BLAST at 100 makes an original contribution to the understanding of a major modernist magazine. Providing new critical readings that consider the magazineâs influence within contexts that have not been acknowledged before â in the development of Irish and Spanish literature and culture in the twentieth century, for example, as well as in the areas of cultural studies, performance studies and the scholarship of teaching and learning â BLAST at 100 reconsiders the magazineâs complex legacy. In addition to situating the magazine in new and often unexpected contexts, BLAST at 100 also offers important new insights into the work of some of its most significant contributors, including Wyndham Lewis, Ezra Pound, and Rebecca West.
Contributors are: Philip Coleman, Simon Cutts, Andrzej GÄ siorek, Angela Griffith, Nicholas E. Johnson, Kathryn Laing, Christopher Lewis, J.C.C. Mays, Kathryn Milligan, Yolanda Morató, Nathan OâDonnell, Alex Runchman, Colm Summers, Tom Walker
