It explores the public face of the modernist editor, the image of highbrow distinction circulated by the Dial and embodied by the figure of 'Miss Moore'. It also examines Moore's editorial practice as a form of modernist 'contractility' drawing on her own poetics to understand more fully the motives underpinning her revisions. It returns to the well-known case of Moore's radical cuts to Hart Crane's poem 'The Wine Menagerie' as well as instances of collaborative struggle with Williams Carlos Williams, Gertrude Stein, Paul Rosenfeld and D. H. Lawrence. In doing so, the book conceptualises editorial labour as a form of creative and critical social practice.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Features: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eReturns to controversial case of Moore's revisions to Hart Crane's 'The Wine Menagerie'\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUncovers evidence that points to Moore's revisions to the work of other well-known modernists\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eConceptualizes editorial agency\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDevelops methodologies for critically engaging with magazine content\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eUncovers and analyses Moore's advertisements for the \u003cem\u003eDial\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eProduces a sustained analysis of Moore's editorial comments for the \u003cem\u003eDial\u003c\/em\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDraws on Moore's poetics to understand her editorial revisions\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Victoria Bazin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474463908\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474463904\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/10\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.57d","brand":"Victoria Bazin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44073002598655,"sku":"9781474463904","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8ea0df54-869c-4cfb-be37-278fbfeb2ec6.jpg?v=1685445223","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/modernism-edited-victoria-bazin-9781474463904","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
