The Little Review, Volume VI, No. 2

About this book

A chapter of Dorothy Richardson's Interim leads into James Joyce's wandering Dubliners, while William Carlos Williams takes poetry in three unpredictable directions. The June 1919 Little Review reads like a conversation among writers who have agreed on almost nothing.

Margaret Anderson's magazine places Joyce's Ulysses (Episode X) beside Richardson, poems by Maxwell Bodenheim, prose by Emanuel Carnevali and a discussion of the death of Vorticism. The pages preserve the moment before these writers became familiar names in literary history. Their experiments arrived together in one slender issue, surrounded by arguments over what modern literature ought to be.
