Review Quotes:
"The Bloomsbury Handbook of Modernist Archives offers diverse ideas and resources for the study of modernist culture. It testifies to the robust modes of research already under way, poses important questions for further study, and provides welcome tools for new research." --Textual Cultures
"This is a real cornucopia of a volume that will rapidly become definitive... An essential resource for finding out about, and receiving informed views about, archival work on particular authors and archives in modernism." --Steven Matthews, Professor in English Literature, University of Reading, UK
