Cultural History of the Avant-Garde in the Nordic Countries 1900-1925

"With The Cultural History of the Avant-Garde in the Nordic Countries 1900-1925, the Nordic Network for Avant-garde studies has presented a generally impressive first volume of a cultural history of the avant-garde in Northern Europe on which continuation we will wait with excitement. We really wish for both the network and the publisher that they will have the necessary long breath to bring cultural history of northern European avant-garde to its end."By Stephan Michael Schröder (Köln), Nordeuropaforum, 2014 pp. 42-46.Full tekst available: http://edoc.hu-berlin.de/nordeuropaforum/2014-/schroeder-stephan-michael-42/PDF/schroeder.pdf
