The Little Review began in Chicago in March 1914 under the editorship of Margaret Anderson which after a brief sojourn to San Francisco, settled in
Greenwich Village, New York City in 1917 for the duration of its run, the last issue being published in 1929. It soon became the most influential literary
journal of the era.

Anderson was inspired by magazines created by other strong female literary figures of the era, most notably Emma Goldman’s Mother Earth.

In 1916 Anderson met and fell in love with the indomitable Jane Heap (left) whom she asked to co-edit the journal.

In 1915, Anderson and Heap, through the assistance of European editor Ezra
Pound, learned of a new work in progress by James Joyce entitled
“Ulysses”. When Anderson first read the chapter entitled "Proteus," she
exclaimed "This is the most beautiful thing we'll ever have. We'll print it if it's
the last effort of our lives." In the Autumn of 1917, Joyce began
submitting typescripts for publication in The Little Review and the first
episode, "Telemachus," appeared in the March 1918 issue.

The announcement printed in the previous issue was prophetic:

Owing to the tenuous financial status of the editors, the paper quality of the surviving issues is quite poor, essentially of pulp
quality. Surviving issues are quite scarce and extremely fragile. Complete sets are
uncommon.The best reference on Joyce in magazines is
A Bibliography of James JoyceBy John J. Slocum and Herbert Cahoon
Greenwood Press, 1971

The September 1918 issue contains an interesting
testimony to freedom of the press from the new publisher
Through the efforts of the Society for the Suppression of Vice, Anderson and Heap were tried and convicted for profanity and fined a nominal but symbolic sum of $100. Anderson’s article in this issue described her reaction (see next two pages)
