SCOPE AND CONTENT: Collection contains the editorial files of the Little Review, an international magazine of the arts. Almost all of the records date from 1914-1929. The collection is organized into three series:Series 1. Administrative FilesSeries 2. General FilesSeries 3. Photogrs.+Repros.Series 1: Administrative Files: The Administrative Files are the records of editors Margaret Anderson and Jane Heap. The files include correspondence concerning subscriptions and advertising; letters from Ezra Pound to Anderson and Heap during his tenure as the magazine's foreign editor; and letters from John Quinn, a financial backer of the magazine and the publication's lawyer in the case concerning the government's seizure of the issue containing James Joyce's Ulysses. The files also contain a small amount of layout materials, especially for the final 1929 issue; correspondence about the final issue; letters to the editor; items related to the International Exposition New Systems of Architecture (1927); International Theatre Exposition (1926-1928); and Machine Age Expositions (1927); publicity materials; and unidentified letters and typescripts.Series 2. General Files: The General Files constitute the majority of the collection. They almost entirely consist of corrected and uncorrected galleys of works; correspondence with contributors; graphic materials (Photogrs.+Repros.) usually published in the magazine; holograph manuscripts; newsclippings (1920-1964) about Anderson, Heap, and the Little Review; and typescripts.The collection includes letters, poetry, and prose by artists and writers such as Louis Aragon, Andre Breton, Jean Cocteau, Hart Crane, Theo van Doesburg, Marcel Duchamp, Ernest Hemingway, James Joyce, Vachel Lindsay, Amy Lowell, Francis Picabia, and William Carlos Williams.Series 3. Photogrs.+Repros.: The magazine published most of the images, which show architecture, paintings, sculpture, and theater set designs. All contributors are listed in series 1 and 2, and a SEE ALSO cross-reference states if any graphic materials exist in addition to the textual materials. A SEE cross-reference is given if the file contains only photographs or reproductions. The finding aid includes an index to the contents of folders in the Little review records. The index is derived from a handwritten list created in 1989, and the abbreviations follow the pattern found in Edmund Berkeley's Autographs and Manuscripts: A Collector's Manual. In addition, the index provides a listing of photographs, reproductions, and other special information.Some materials are in French or German.

ADMINISTRATIVE HISTORY: The Little Review was launched in Chicago in March 1914 as a monthly literary magazine. Founded by Margaret Carolyn Anderson, it was intended to be "an organ of two interests, art and good talk about art." In the first issue, alongside new works by the Chicago poets Arthur Davidson Ficke and Eunice Tietjens, Anderson published celebrations of feminism, psychoanalysis, and Nietzsche. For the next two years the Little Review featured works by Imagist poets and political writings by anarchists such as Emma Goldman.When Jane Heap, fresh from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, joined the staff, the magazine became more interested in the plastic arts and began using modernistic typography and publishing photographic illustrations of works by contemporary painters, sculptors, and photographers. Literature remained as the magazine's principal interest.In 1917, the Little Review moved to New York. During the next few years the editors accelerated the magazine's commitment to radical literary experimentation, publishing some of the cornerstones of the modern movement in literature, including works by Louis Aragon, T. S. Eliot, James Joyce, Wyndham Lewis, Ezra Pound, and William Butler Yeats. Many of these writings were solicited by Pound, who served as the magazine's foreign editor from 1917 to 1919. Among his major achievements was his arranging for the serialization of Joyce's Ulysses in the Little Review.In 1921, as funds grew increasingly scarce, the magazine began to appear quarterly. In 1922, the Little Review moved once again, this time to Paris. Issues appeared sporadically until 1926, when publication was suspended. One final issue of the Little Review appeared in 1929.
