The Little Review, Volume IV, No. 8

About this book

A small magazine issue can catch a revolution in progress. In December 1917, The Little Review was helping create a space for poets, artists and thinkers whose work resisted respectable literary expectations.

Edited by Margaret Anderson, this issue belongs to the modernist moment immediately before the magazine's famous serialisation of James Joyce's Ulysses. Its contributors, including the young Hart Crane, form part of a living conversation about what writing could become. The advertising, typography and editorial voice are as revealing as the literature itself.
