Index
Günter Berghaus received his Ph.D. in Theatre Studies and his Habilitation from the Free University of Berlin; he taught at the University of London and now holds a Readership in Theatre History and Performance Studies at the University of Bristol.
"... the story Berghaus relates is both fascinating and informative. The evidence he presents raises important questions for artistic and cultural historiography, and not only with regards to Futurism; the work also offers a case study for debates on avant-gardism and modernity." · Art History "... important and ambitious ... the book combines the qualities of a wide-ranging synthesis with a concern for precise detail ... [The] clearr, concise and usually very well-contextualized narrative ... highly recommend the book to the undergraduate or the reader with general knowledge of Futurism, while the extensive notes with their rich documentation of sources contribute to making it a very valuable source of information for the scholar." · Italian Studies "... one of the best researched and most original pieces of writing on the subject for years." · Roger Griffin, Oxford Brookes University "... its combination of highly original and thorough archival research with keen analysis willinterest anyone who studies futurism and/or fascism and culture." · Walter L. Adamson, Emory University
