In doing so, it not only offers a new history of the Futurist movement in England and Anglophone contexts, but also begins to reconceptualise early modernist historiography.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55391628427638,"sku":"9781350327689","price":91.23,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781350327689-italian-futurism-and-the-development-of-english-literary-modernism","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
