the little review

• The Little Review was launched in March 1914. The first issue featured praise of Nietzsche, feminism, and psychoanalysis, along with new works by the Chicago poets Arthur Davidson Ficke and Eunice Tietjens. For the next two years Margaret Anderson published works by Imagist poets and also featured the political writings of - among others - Emma Goldman.
• In 1916 Jane Heap (1887-1964) joined the staff of The Little Review. After her arrival the magazine began using modern typographical designs and publishing reproductions of contemporary artists' works.
  In 1917 Anderson and Heap moved The Little Review to New York. During the next few years the magazine increased its commitment to literary experiment, featuring the works of T.S. Eliot, Dorothy Richardson and James Joyce. Ezra Pound acted as the magazine's foreign editor from 1917 to 1919. In that capacity he encouraged many British and European writers to submit their works to Anderson and Heap for publication in The Little Review. By 1921, as funds grew increasingly sparse, the magazine began publishing quarterly. Issues, appeared sporadically until 1926, when publications was suspended. In 1929, one final issue was published, in Paris.
