- New York: Margaret Anderson, 1921
New York: Margaret Anderson, 1921. First edition. Near fine.. Brancusi tribute issue of the celebrated Modernist journal, published in protest after the persecution and prosecution of the editors for their publication of ULYSSES. Founded in 1914, THE LITTLE REVIEW soon gained a reputation for its experimental approach to art, literature, and politics alike. After enduring arrest and trial in 1920-1 for daring to print installments of Joyce's ULYSSES, Anderson and Heap decamped to Paris and continued to publish THE LITTLE REVIEW through the end of the decade. This issue's bold announcement: "As PROTEST against the suppression of the Little Review containing various instalments of the "ULYSSES" of JAMES JOYCE, the following artists and writers of international reputation are collaborating in the autumn number of THE LITTLE REVIEW: BRANCUSI, JEAN COCTEAU, JEAN HUGO, GUY CHARLES CROS, PAUL MORAND, FRANCIS PICABIA, EZRA POUND." Contains a full-page advertisement and order form for Sylvia Beach's own famous and then-forthcoming publication of ULYSSES.
Additional contributors include Iwan Goll, Mina Loy, Kenneth Burke, Clement Pansaers, and Mary Butts. Special mention must also be made of Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven's "Criticism of William Carlos William's 'Kora in Hell'"; context is supplied by Margaret Anderson's autobiography, which records the Baroness's "tragic spring" of unrequited love for the poet. Williams unwittingly lent false hope to Loringhoven by offering a basket of peaches in tribute to her own poems: "He brought me peaches and now he won't look at me. Not just peaches—they were ripe peaches. Are American men really so naïve as that?" 9.5'' x 7.5''. Modern quarter-bound marbled papers. Original wrappers bound in. 112 pages. Touches of shelfwear. Faint toning to pages. Else bright and clean.
