Abstract
This article examines the material conditions of literary modernism. It investigates how literary materials got from the modernist author into the world and how modernist texts get published. The article also explores the relation between modernism and the emergent cultures of publicity in the early twentieth century, and discusses the issues of patronage and censorship. It suggests that modernism's benefactors were not as altruistic as they are sometimes portrayed, and that modernist literary materials that fell into their hands, which are often described decorously in correspondences as gifts, were actually transactional, or acquired on a collect-on-delivery basis.
