Bloomsburians in Warsaw: Modernist Publishing Networks and the Bloomsbury Group in Interwar Poland - research data

Drawing on new modernist studies, book history, and periodical research, the project “Bloomsburians in Warsaw: Modernist publishing networks and the Bloomsbury Group in interwar Poland” aims to examine the profound role of modernist networks in the cultural the transfer and reception of British modernism, and specifically the Bloomsbury Group, in interwar Poland. Those global networks comprised publishing houses, newspapers and magazines, as well as diverse cultural mediators – publishers, translators, literary agents, journalists, critics, reviewers, scholars, and booksellers. Those mediators were developing different strategies to introduce new experimental works at the local and transnational literary marketplace. The project also attempts to fill in the gaps about the activities of Polish modernist publishing houses, whose publishing archives were lost in the Second World War and cultural mediators, who tried to diffuse Polish avant-garde aesthetics in the UK.
