The first 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 artistic
modernism in the UK and Ireland. In thirty-seven chapters covering
over eighty magazines expert contributors investigate the inner
dynamics and economic and intellectual conditions that governed the
life of these fugitive but vibrant publications. We learn of the
role of editors and sponsors, the relation of the arts to
contemporary philosophy and politics, the effects of war and
economic depression and of the survival in hard times of radical
ideas and a belief in innovation. The chapters are arranged
according to historical themes with accompanying contextual
introductions, and include studies of the New Age, Blast, the
Egoist and the Criterion, New Writing, New Verse , and Scrutiny as
well as of lesser known magazines such as the Evergreen, Coterie,
the Bermondsey Book, the Mask, Welsh Review, the Modern Scot, and
the Bell. To return to the pages of these magazines returns us 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.
