Description
The history of modern American literature is inextricably tied to the history of the literary magazine. The literary magazines of the 20th century, most of them known as "littles" because of small budgets and circulation, number in the thousands. Some, like the venerable New Yorker, have enjoyed wide circulation for well over half a century; most others, like The Fugitive, were regional and/or experimental and short-lived. Of these thousands, Chielens has selected 76 of the most significant for description and analysis in individual historical essays. An additional 100 magazines are briefly profiled in an appendix.

Reviews:
-This companion volume to American Literary Magazines: The 18th and 19th Centuries (Greenwood, 1986) offers histories of 76 literary magazines. The entries, by 43 noteworthy contributors, highlight major influences on this century's literary scene. Each profile includes a bibliography, list of reprint sources, locations of existing runs, and indexing information. Three appendices follow the alphabetically arranged entries: the first briefly describes 100 magazines that did not merit full profiles; the second, a chronology, juxtaposes the history of the magazines with social and literary events of the time; the third analyzes 28 American and Canadian 'little magazine' collections. This volume provides a wealth of information on America's literary-historical development, complete with excellent documentation, along with its companion volume, for collections of American literary history and criticism. —Library Journal
