The Little Review, August 1916 (Vol. 3, No. 5) by Margaret C. Anderson
"The Little Review, August 1916 (Vol. 3, No. 5) by Margaret C. Anderson" is a literary magazine issue from the early 20th century. As a periodical dedicated to literature, drama, music, and art, it serves as a curated collection of essays, poetry, criticism, and editorial commentary reflecting avant-garde and modernist ideas of the time. The magazine positions itself as a champion of art for art’s sake, artistic revolution, and intellectual freedom, likely
with strong influences from early modernism and progressive thought. Its central topic revolves around fostering and critiquing contemporary creative expression while addressing cultural, social, and political challenges faced by artists. This particular issue features an editorial by Anderson lamenting compromises in the pursuit of true art, with calls for genuine, uncompromising creativity. It includes poetry from figures such as Amy Lowell, Helen Hoyt, Sue Golden, and Ben Hecht, as well as critical essays on contemporary literary works by Carl Sandburg and Edgar Lee Masters. The magazine also contains discussions on censorship, the societal role of art and revolution, gender and individuality within relationships, and debates on social reform like birth control. With reviews, reader correspondence, contests, and announcements of artistic events, the issue embodies a vibrant, questioning, and innovative literary community seeking both to influence and reflect upon the evolving culture of the early 1900s.
