Anyone interested in revolutions--aesthetic, political, sexual--and the way they are represented by their most ardent proponents will want to read Janet Lyon's Manifestoes. --Stephen Watt, Indiana University Janet Lyon's genre study of manifestoes and modernity has an impressively ambitious reach--from the Diggers and Levellers to the feminist SCUM and cyborgianism. She posits telling conjunctures between aesthetics and politics, avant-gardism and feminism, in such historical moments as Republican France, literary modernism, and second-wave feminism. The result is a fresh, new reading of manifestoes as a revolutionary form of discourse interwoven with the history of feminism and inseparable from the formation of the modern subject in the West. --Susan Stanford Friedman, University of Wisconsin-Madison A major, ground-breaking work of scholarship regarding the centrality of the manifesto to the political and aesthetic contradictions of modernity. From its opening pages, the book reveals itself as a lucid, confident and carefully argued piece of work, written with real elegance and elan. Lyon succeeds admirably in showing the connections between issues that have often been treated in isolation, such as revolutionary rhetoric, aesthetic theory, feminism, and the public sphere. --Rita Felski, University of Virginia Lyon offers an innovative, far-ranging study...
