Annotation ; How was the modernist movement understood by the general public when
it was first emerging? This question can be addressed by looking at how modernist
literature and art were interpreted by journalists in daily newspapers, mainstream
magazines like Punch and Vanity Fair, and literary magazines. In the earliest decades
of the movement - before modernist artists were considered important, and before modernism's
meaning was clearly understood - many of these interpretations took the form of parodies.
Mock Modernism is an anthology of these amusing pieces, the overwhelming majority
of which have not been in print since the first decades of the twentieth century.
They include Max Beerbohm's send-up of Henry James; J.C. Squire's account of how a
poet, writing deliberately incomprehensible poetry as a hoax, became the poet laureate
of the British Bolshevist Revolution; and the Chicago Record-Herald's account of some
art students' "trial" of Henri Matisse for "crimes against anatomy." An introduction
and headnotes by Leonard Diepeveen highlight the usefulness of these pieces for comprehending
media and public perceptions of a form of art that would later develop an almost unassailable
power
