Modernism,
Magazines, and the British avant-garde: Reading Rhythm, 1910-1914 by Faith Binckes Oxford English Monographs, 2010 ISBN-10: 0199252521 Includes discussion of Jessica Dismorr, Margaret Thompson Zorach, and J.D. Fergusson, their colleague and former instructor. "This book is a re-examination of the fertile years of early modernism immediately preceding the First World War. During this period, how, where, and under whose terms the avant-garde in Britain would be constructed and consumed were very much to play for. It is the first study to look in detail at two little magazines marginalised from many accounts of this competitive process: Rhythm and the Blue Review." - publisher Digital facsimiles of Rhythm and Blue Review are both viewable online at : The Modernist Journals Project |

Saunders, 1885-1963 by Brigid Peppin Foreword by Richard Cork Ashmolean Museum, 1996 57 pages ISBN 10: 185444087X "Since Saunders' early work earned her a respected place in experimental circles, the gathering obscurity of her later years seems cruel. She endured the neglect with uncomplaining stoicism, for her innate warmth prevented her from succumbing to bitterness." - Richard Cork in the Foreword |

This book covers the effectiveness of the visual campaign employed by the suffrage movement. |

Clever Fresno
Girl: The Travel Writings of Marguerite Thompson Zorach (1908-1915) Edited by Efram L. Burk This volume features thirty
art-related travel articles by the American modern
artist, Marguerite Thompson Zorach (1887-1968),
reprinted for the first time since they appeared in
her hometown newspaper, the "Fresno Morning
Republican", from 1908-15, the period that corresponds
to when she was studying art in Paris at La Palette
and traveling throughout Europe, the Middle East, and
Asia. Her writings relate to the cities, museums, and
cultures in her whirlwind Grand Tour to which she
brought incisive and critical commentary. The
accompanying essay examines her life in Paris, the
people she met, and the art she was exposed to, and
how all of this helped shape her own work and identity
as a woman artist, a world traveler, and an American.
In her travels and activities as an artist, Thompson
pushed the perceived boundaries of gender conventions
and stereotypes during the first decades of the
twentieth century. - Publisher
