Little magazines made modernism happen. They were typically founded by individuals or small groups intent on publishing the experimental works or radical opinions of untried, unpopular, or underrepresented writers. This volume reflects the diversity of Anglo-American modernism, with essays on avant-garde, and African American little magazines.
'Little Magazines & Modernism offers a much-needed, high-quality collection of articles on an emerging approach to modernist studies. Exploring periodicals as well-known as Poetry or The Dial, along with lesser-known magazines like the multi-racial Ebony and Topaz, it will attract readers across a wide spectrum and should be in every research library. Some of the essays are gems, and all are interesting.' George Bornstein, University of Michigan, USA '... this is a notable and archive-rich collection that should stimulate much further work in the cultural field of the modernist 'little-magazine'. To this end, the first-rate appendices to the volume - on publications upon the 'little magazine', on print and electronic indexes to the field, and upon library holdings of magazines [...] - are invaluable resources for the scholar and critic.'
