Traveling mostly on foot with a fiddle slung over his shoulder, Rickaby fell into easy conversation with the men, collecting not just the words of songs, but the tunes, making careful notes about his informants and their performances. Shortly before his groundbreaking and much-praised \u003ci\u003eBallads and Songs of the Shanty Boy\u003c\/i\u003e was published in 1926, Rickaby died, leaving later folklorists, cultural historians, and folksong enthusiasts with little knowledge of his life and other unpublished research. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003ePinery Boys\u003c\/i\u003e now incorporates, commemorates, contextualizes, and complements Rickaby's early work. It includes an introduction and annotations throughout by eminent folklore scholar James P. Leary and an engaging, impressively researched biography by Rickaby's granddaughter Gretchen Dykstra. Central to this edition are Rickaby's own introduction and the original fifty-one songs that he published--including \"Jack Haggerty's Flat River Girl,\" \"The Little Brown Bulls,\" \"Ole from Norway,\" \"The Red Iron Ore,\" and \"Morrissey and the Russian Sailor\"--plus fourteen additional songs selected to represent the varied collecting Rickaby did beyond the lumber camps. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSupplemented by historical photographs, \u003ci\u003ePinery Boys\u003c\/i\u003e fully reveals Franz Rickaby as a visionary artist and scholar and provides glimpses into the past lives of woods poets and singers.\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBetween the 1890s and the 1920s, mass consumer culture and modernism grew up together, by most accounts as mutual antagonists. This provocative work of cultural history tells a different story. By delving deeply into the publishing and promotional practices of the modernists in Britain and America, however, Mark Morrisson reveals that their engagements with the commercial mass market were in fact extensive and diverse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe phenomenal successes of new advertising agencies and mass market publishers did elicit what Morrisson calls a \"crisis of publicity\" for some modernists and for many concerned citizens in both countries. But, as Morrisson demonstrates, the vast influence of these industries on consumers also had a profound and largely overlooked effect upon many modernist authors, artists, and others. By exploring the publicity and audience reception of several of the most important modernist magazines of the period, The Public Face of Modernism shows how modernists, far from lamenting the destruction of meaningful art and public culture by the new mass market, actually displayed optimism about the power of mass-market technologies and strategies to transform and rejuvenate contemporary culture -- and, above all, to restore a public function to art.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis reconstruction of the \"public face of modernism\" offers surprising new perceptions about the class, gender, racial, and even generational tensions within the public culture of the early part of the century, and provides a rare insight into the actual audiences for modernist magazines of the period. More-over, in new readings of works by James Joyce, George Bernard Shaw, Wyndham Lewis, Ford Madox Ford, T. S. Eliot, William CarlosWilliams, and many others, Morrisson shows that these contexts also had an impact on the techniques and concerns of the literature itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMark S.
