Central to the book is A Humument, the extraordinary “treated novel” Phillips developed over five decades from W. H. Mallock’s largely forgotten Victorian text A Human Document (1892), transforming it into one of the most innovative artistic projects of the twentieth century.Bringing together international scholars from literature, art history, media studies, and poetics, the collection explores Phillips’s celebrated masterpiece alongside his broader intermedial practice. The essays examine themes of erasure, collage, materiality, identity, and artistic experimentation, showing how Phillips reimagined the relationship between word and image. Accessible yet intellectually ambitious, this volume demonstrates why Phillips remains a central figure for understanding contemporary intermedia art and the creative reuse of cultural memory.
