Scope and Contents
This critical text focuses on three themes in the late 19th and early 20th centuries: 1) the relation of experimental typography used by the artistic avant garde to linguistic theories, 2) the divergence of experimental typography from visual images, and 3) the work of four influential practitioners of experimental typography and their debt to advertising copy, viz., Marinetti, Apollinaire, Tzara, and Zdanevich. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
