'MAKING NO COMPROMISE':
Margaret Anderson and the Little Review
Famous
for her strong opinions about art as well as for her beauty and
wit, radical editor Margaret Anderson was a key figure in American
and European Modernism. Between 1914 and 1929, Andersons pioneering art and
literature magazine, the Little Review, published poetry, criticism,
and artwork by many of the most significant writers and artists of the 20th
century, including William Butler Yeats, Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein, Pablo
Picasso, Hart Crane, Man Ray, Mina Loy, Wyndham Lewis, T.S. Eliot, Sherwood
Anderson, and Francis Picabia. James Joyces Ulysses appeared serially in the Little
Review before it was published in its entirety in 1922; the Little
Review and its editor became the subjects of a widely publicized obscenity
trial when the United States Post Office deemed some segments of the work
obscene and refused to distribute copies. Making No Compromise celebrates
the life and work of Margaret Anderson and the remarkable influence of the Little
Review on twentieth-century arts and letters. The exhibition is drawn
largely from the Margaret Anderson-Elizabeth Jenks Clark Collection, housed
at the Beinecke Library.
