Make it New is a companion publication to the exhibition of the same name that opened at the Harry Ransom Center in October 2003.
It includes original essays by such noted writers and artists as Russell Banks, Anita Desai, David Douglas Duncan, Elizabeth Hardwick, and Penelope Lively, which offer fresh perspectives on important Modernist figures, including William Gaddis, Ezra Pound, William Faulkner, E. M. Forster, Paul Robeson, Virginia Woolf, Henry James, Joseph Conrad, Frank Lloyd Wright, and Le Corbusier. In addition, essays by leading scholars in literature and art history focus on specific artifacts included in the exhibit.
As the Center's former Director, Thomas F. Staley, puts it in the Foreword, 'Ours is an attempt not of definition but of discovery and rediscovery.' This book permits the reader to experience the textures, structures, and resonances that made the first part of the twentieth century so innovative that its art is still virtually synonymous with what 'newness' means.
