A facsimile edition of one of the seminal texts of 20th-century modernism, arts movement Vorticism that was baptized on 20 June 1914 in the first issue of BLAST: A Review of the Great English Vortex, the revolutionary magazine. BLAST is now considered one of the 20th century's most glowing examples of modernist expression and typography, both historically indispensable and a milestone in modern thought. It includes important essays and artwork by Wyndham Lewis, line cuts by such artists as Jacob Epstein and Gaudier-Brzeska, and literary contributions from Ezra Pound, Rebecca West and Ford Madox Ford.
