Born in Indianapolis about 1893, Margaret Anderson grew up in a middle-class atmosphere that she rejected at the earliest possible moment. While still in her teens she traveled to Chicago, determined to make the richest life she could for herself. She found the means in the arts. In 1914 she founded the Little Review, a magazine of the arts that announced itself as devoted to ╥Life for Art╒s sake╙ and that succeeded in becoming foremost in its field. With her longtime associate, Jane Heap, Anderson managed to publish the magazine regularly with no ascertainable resources and to attract the best writers in the country, although they were paid nothing. As the organ of the ╥Chicago school,╙ the Little Review published contributions by Carl Sandburg, Maxwell Bodenheim, Ben Hecht, and Sherwood Anderson, among others, and dealt with movements ranging from anarchism to psychoanalysis to feminism and with thinkers from Nietzsche to Bergson to Emma Goldman. Margaret Anderson excelled as a literary impresario, and by a combination of luck, energy, and a fascination with anything novel, she produced a magazine of legendary quality. Once, to protest the temporary lack of exciting new works, she issued 64 blank pages between covers. Other writers who contributed to the Review included William Carlos Williams, Amy Lowell, Ford Maddox Ford, Wallace Stevens, and Malcolm Cowley. In 1917 Ezra Pound became foreign editor, and through his influence the Little Review published works by William Butler Yeats, T. S. Eliot, Hart Crane, and James Joyce, whose Ulysses was serialized beginning in 1918, when the magazine moved to New York City. Four issues were seized and burned by postal authorities during the three-year serialization of Ulysses and the matter became a cause cÄlÅbre when a charge of obscenity was sustained in court. In 1924 Anderson moved to Paris, where the Little Review was published until 1929, championing Cubism, Dada, and Surrealism. After the demise of her magazine she published three volumes of autobiography╤My Thirty Years╒ War, 1930, The Fiery Fountains, 1951, and The Strange Necessity, 1970╤and a Little Review Anthology, 1953, before her death at Le Cannet, France, on October 18, 1973.
