THE LITTLE MAGAZINE IN AMERICA—Modern Documentary History—1st HC—Anderson

Description: • For Your Consideration: • A RARE First Edition of a MASSIVE HARDCOVER (770 pages!) on Avant-Garde Literary Journals: • “THE LITTLE MAGAZINE IN AMERICA:A MODERN DOCUMENTARY HISTORY”(PUSHCART PRESS / TRIQUATERLY, 1978) (HARDCOVER, First Edition, First Printing) • EDITED BY ELLIOTT ANDERSON & MARY KINZIE • ABOUT THIS TITLE: • “THE LITTLE MAGAZINE IN AMERICA: A MODERN DOCUMENT HISTORY was conceived as a companion to a study by FREDERICK J. HOFFMAN…THE LITTLE MAGZINE: A HISTORY AND A BIBLIOGRAPHY, published by Princeton University Press in 1946… HOFFMAN’s interest in the relationship between psychoanalysis, the literary imagination, and the avant-garde informed the book’s structure and focus, although there were chapters on political movements, regionalism, and the critic and eclectic magazines as well. What was missing, and what we have tried to include in the present volume, is a sense of the living reality of the publications. Rather than offer a historical overview, or even a collaboration between historians, we have assembled a large collection of essay-memoirs by prominent and representative little magazine editors, publishers, and contributors, including a generous selection of photo-documents and an annotated bibliography of 84 important magazines of the period.”—ELIOTT ANDERSON & MARY KINZIE, FROM THEIR “PREFACTORY NOTE” • “Featuring punchy reflections of such ground-clearing “Little Magazines” (aka “Literary Journals”) as FURIOSO, PARTISAN REVIEW, BLACK MOUNTAIN REVIEW, & KULCHUR (to name just a smattering) by such writers/editors as GILBERT SORRENTINO, ROBERT CREELEY, LEROI JONES, SEYMOUR KRIM, & GEORGE PLIMPTON (to name just a handful). For a complete list of authors & contributions please see below.” —FLAPPINCAT • “Among the most important works of literary history to come out in years.” —RICHARD ELLMANN • “This is the book that had to be written.” —STANLEY ELKIN • “A delightful volume.” —THE NEW YORKER • “An absorbing miscellany.” —IRVING HOWE • “Utterly fascinating.” —NEW YORK TIMES BOOK REVIEW • “For writers around my age, this book out to be a natural: it reminds us of our origins, where we published, whom we knew and know in so many brave adventures. For younger writers and editors, beginning in their turn, it will offer less nostalgia but maybe more use, a map of the terrain ahead.” —HOWARD NEMEROV • “Highly recommended.” —LIBRARY JOURNAL • “Massive, opinionated, instructive, lively….” —PUBLISHERS WEEKLY • “A big and important book in the history of 20th Century American Literary…. Highly recommended.”—CHOICE • “Indispensable.” —CHICAGO TRIBUNE BOOK WORLD • “The best single volume on the topic remains ELLIOTT ANDERSON and MARY KINZIE’s THE LITTLE MAGAZINE IN AMERICA: A MODERN DOCUMENTARY HISTORY (Yonkers: Pushcart, 1978). There you’ll find CLAYTON ESHLEMAN’s candid and instructive ‘Doing CATEPILLAR,’ GILBERT SORRENTINO’s excellent notes on NEON and KULCHUR, ROBERT CREELEY’s remembrance of editing BLACK MOUNTAIN REVIEW, and admirable though very different essays on POETRY by KARL SHAPIRO and JOSEPH PARISI (the latter writing as an ‘associate editor’ with an amazing command of the institutional and financial history of the magazine he would soon take the reigns of).” —STEVE EVANS, THIRD FACTORY (2006) • TABLE OF CONTENT: • Elliott Anderson & Mary Kinzie: “PREFACTORY NOTE” • Michael Anania: “OF LIVING BELFRY AND RAMPART: ON AMERICAN LITERARY MAGAZINES SINCE 1950” • Charles Robinson: “ACADEMIA AND THE LITTLE MAGAZINE” • Mark Olson, John Judson & Richard Boudreau: “FELIX POLLAK, AN INTERVIEW ON LITTLE MAGAZINES” • Robie Macauley: “THE KENYON REVIEW, 1939-1970” • Lewis P.

The condition of every item we sell will be described in detail.FLAWS. All discernible flaws will be noted, if not emphasized. Of course, the grading of condition can be subjective. And since no grader is perfect, it is possible that we may at times miss a flaw. It is also possible that we may miss some perfections! Should we make a mistake, you will find FLAPPINCAT eager to fix things with you. Just send us a note and we’ll get on it.GRADING SYSTEM. For books and magazines (and even other items), we use these terms (in order of desirability): VERY FINE or LIKE NEW FINE (or EXCELLENT) NEAR FINE (or NF) VERY GOOD PLUS (or VG+) VERY GOOD (or VG) GOOD FAIR ACCEPTABLE POOR “POOR.” Except in rare cases, for rare items, we tend to avoid selling items that are in utterly “POOR” condition. It is more likely that on a rare item, only one part of an item (out of numerous parts) will be described as “POOR.”RETURNS. We accept that you may wish to return a purchase because you genuinely think we haven't described and graded its condition properly. We accept that we our* imperfect. We also accept that people can see things differently—and still be civil! (*Get it?)POP QUIZ. Please feel free to ask questions at any time about condition (or anything else, except math).
