Folio (290 × 230 mm), pp. [4] (one bifolium). Browned, some marginal creasing.[with:] Supplément au Manifeste technique de la littérature futuriste. [Milan: A. Talveggia for Direction du Mouvement futuriste, 1912]. Browned, some marginal creasing, fore-edge quite chipped.First editions in French (simultaneous with the Italian issues) of Marinetti's Futurist manifestos for literature: 'Sitting on the gas tank of an aeroplane, my stomach warmed by the pilot's head, I sensed the ridiculous inanity of the old syntax inherited from Homer. A pressing need to liberate words, to drag them out of their prison in the Latin period!'[MARINETTI, F. T.] Le Music-Hall. Manifeste futuriste publié par le "Daily-Mail," 21 Novembre 1913. [Milan: A. Talveggia for Direction du Mouvement futuriste, 1913].Folio (290 × 230 mm), pp. [4] (one bifolium). Browned, some creasing, chipping and short tears at margins, but generally sound.First edition of Marinetti's manifesto on the music hall. Though dated 29 September 1913, publication postdated the abridged version published in English in the Daily Mail on November 21, 1913, where it was attributed to 'the only intelligible Futurist'). Issued simultaneously in Italian in this pamphlet form. It lays out the Futurists' enthusiasm for Music Hall as an anti-academic art form, not bound by tradition, with its speed and mechanical novelty, its use of cinematography to create effects unheard of in the theatre, and its genuine collaboration with the audience, among many other perceived advantages over conventional theatre. It ends with a typically Futurist typographical performance incorporating adverts for Manoli cigarettes. Marinetti had been lecturing in London in 1913 and his various pronouncements were eagerly covered by the press. It was not until the eve of war in 1914 that he put his manifesto into practice, giving presentations at London's largest music hall, the Coliseum - events which were greeted with a degree of bemusement by a distracted British public.--- La Danse futuriste. Danse de l'Aviateur - Danse du Shrapnell - Danse de la Mitrailleuse. [Milan: A. Tareggia for Direction du Mouvement futuriste, 1917].Folio (290 × 230 mm), pp. [4] (one bifolium). Browned, some creasing, chipping and short tears at margins, but generally sound.First edition in French (and probably the first separate edition) the Italian text having previously appeared in the journal Italia futurista of 8 July 1917. Marinetti's manifesto for dance applies the Futurist programme prioritising action, violence and speed to contemporary dance. He considers the innovations brought to European dance by Argentine tango ('spasme furieux') and other South American forms, he is equivocal about the langorous style of Isadora Duncan but more enthusiastic about Loïe Fuller, before coming to the point: 'La danse futuriste sera: Inharmonieuse - Disgracieuse - Asymétrique - Dynamique - Motlibriste'. He then gives detailed accounts of three such dances: Danse de l'Aviateur - Danse du Shrapnell - Danse de la Mitrailleuse. [Carteret 418.].

The most important issue of this periodical, published between 1905 and 1909, established and directed by the Italian poet and founder of the Futurist movement, Filippo Tommaso Marinetti (1876-1944), containing the first publication in English of the "Manifesto of Futurism" First published in French in "Figaro" on 20th February 1909, in the present journal the manifesto appears on pp.1-2, titled "Declaration of Futurism", as well as in French and Italian. ("Manifeste du Futurisme" and "Manifesto del Futurismo" (pp. 36-37)). This quadruple issuealso contains several other pieces by Marinetti himself (including "Hors du possible noir en plein azur absurde! (Chant futuriste)" (pp.66-69) and "La Morte prese il volante. (Visione futurista d'una corsa d'automobili)" (pp.70-71)), as well as numerous pieces of Futurist poety, with contributions by Paolo Buzzi, Federico De Maria, Corrado Govoni, Robert Scheffer, Libero Altomare ("Canti futuristi"), Fred G. Bowles, Georges Perin, Henry Bataille, and others, in addition to a European press review section pp.12-34 concerning reactions to the new movement. Devoted exclusively to the recently proclaimed birth of "Futurism"- with its emphasis on dynamism, speed, technology, youth, violence, and industry - this issue of "Poesia" marked a key moment in the development of this influential artistic and social movement, which would help to shape European culture and politics - particularly in Italy and Russia - during the early twentieth century.
