The second of three volumes charting the history of the Modernist
Magazine in Britain, North America, and Europe, this collection
offers the first comprehensive study of the wide and varied range
of 'little magazines' which were so instrumental in introducing the
new writing and ideas that came to constitute literary and cultural
modernism.
This book contains forty-four original essays on the role of
periodicals in the United States and Canada. Over 120 magazines are
discussed by expert contributors, completely reshaping our
understanding of the construction and emergence of modernism. The
chapters are organised into thirteen sections, each with a
contextual introduction by the editors, and consider key themes in
the landscape of North American modernism such as: 'free verse';
drama and criticism; regionalism; exiles in Europe; the Harlem
Renaissance; and radical politics. In incisive critical essays we
learn of familiar 'little magazines' such as Poetry, Others,
transition, and The Little Review, as well as less well-known
magazines such as Rogue, Palms, Harlem, and The Modern Quarterly.
Of particular interest is the placing of 'little magazines'
alongside pulps, slicks, and middlebrow magazines, demonstrating
the rich and varied periodical field that constituted modernism in
the United States and Canada.
To return to the pages of these magazines returns us to a world
where the material constraints of costs and anxieties over
censorship and declining readerships ran alongside the excitement
of a new poem or manifesto. This collection therefore confirms the
value of magazine culture to the field of modernist studies; it
provides a rich and hitherto under-examined resource which both
brings to light the debate and dialogue out of which modernism
evolved and helps us recover the vitality and potential of that
earlier discussion.
