Italian Futurism and the First World War

‘Highly recommended.’

R.T. Ingoglia, Choice Magazine vol 54:07:2017

‘Well researched and documented account of the Futurist involvement in the First World War… With a multitude of notes, and large bibliography Salena Daly’s book will surely become a standard work on the subject.’

Jim Burns, Northern Review of Books March 2017

"Clearly written, cogently argued, and deeply researched, this book – essential reading for anyone interested in futurism and in the relationship between art and the broader social sphere – completely transforms our understanding of the Italian avant-garde movement’s relationship to war."

Anthony White, University of Melbourne, University of Toronto Quarterly, vol 87 3, Summer 2018

"Selena Daly has created an eminently readable and in depth work that is destined to be the definitive work on Futurism in Italy during the First World War."

Willard Bohn, Distinguished Professor Emeritus of French and Italian, Illinois State University

"Dr. Daly invites the reader to profoundly re-think the widely held assumptions about the relationship between Futurism and the war. Her book is a pleasure to read and an example of cultural history at its best."

Luca Somigli, Professor of Italian Studies, University of Toronto
