'There have been large magazines with tiny circulations and
there have been diminutive sheets which have reached thousands of
readers. But all 'little magazines' have been small in one or
another of these ways, and usually in both... And yet most of them
have had arrestingly large-scale ambitions...'
From Ian Hamilton (1938-2001), himself the founder of the
"Review" and "New Review," comes this matchless survey (first
published in 1976) of the literary magazine from 1912-1950:
concentrating on those periodicals that enjoyed dominant editorial
personalities (the likes of Pound, Eliot, Cyril Connolly) and
which, ultimately, proved central to their cultural epoch.
'Our one consolation for Ian Hamilton's early death is that his
work seems to have lived on with undiminished force. He helped to
shape our generation and at this rate may well do the same for the
next as well.' Clive James
