This book is a re-examination of the fertile years of early modernism immediately        preceding the First World War. During this period, how, where, and under whose terms        the avant-garde in Britain would be constructed and consumed were very much to play        for. It is the first study to look in detail at two little magazines marginalised        from many accounts of this competitive process: Rhythm and the Blue Review. By        thoroughly examining not only the content but theinterrelated networks that defined        and surrounded these publications, Faith Binckes aims to provide a fresh and        challenging perspective to the on-going reappraisal of modernism.Founded in 1911,        and edited by John Middleton Murry with assistance from Michael Sadleir and        subsequently from Katherine Mansfield, Rhythm and The Blue Review featured a series        of pivotal moments. Rhythm was the arena for a challenge to Roger Fry's vision of        Post-Impressionism, for the introduction of Picasso to a British audience, for early        short stories and reviews by Lawrence, and for Mansfield's discovery of a voice in        which to frame her breakthrough writing onNew Zealand. A further context for many of        these experiments was the extended and acrimonious debate Rhythm conducted with A.R.          Orage's New Age, in which issues of the proper gender, generation, and formulation        of modernity were debated month by month.However, reading magazines as vehicles for        avant-garde development can only provide half the story. The book also pays close        attention to their dialogic, reproductive, and periodical nature, and explores the        strategies at work within the terminology of the new. Crucially, it argues that they        offer compelling material evidence for the consistently mobile and multiple        boundaries of the modern, and puts forward a compelling case for focusing upon the        specificity of magazines as a medium forliterary and artistic innovation.
