"The Little Review, November 1916 (Vol. 3, No. 7) by Various" is a modernist literary magazine issue produced in the early 20th century. It gathers poetry, essays, criticism, and letters around avant-garde literature, art, music, and aesthetics, articulating a bold, often polemical stance toward contemporary culture. This issue opens with Richard Aldington’s Myrrhine and Konallis, a sequence of Hellenic love-lyrics mixing ritual, wine, gods, and mortality. It offers a French dramatic poem
by Jean de Bosschère, L’Offre de Plebs, a tense dialogue among a misanthrope, Plebs, and Solitude about friendship, faith, and purity; brief poems by Mark Turbyfill; and Stefan Brazier’s Prison Sketches, stark visions of confinement, memory, fear, and revolt. In prose, there is a vivid eyewitness vignette placing Paderewski and Tagore in the same afternoon; swift editorial jabs at George Moore’s The Brook Kerith and the “great American novel” fad; and an impassioned appreciation of Nexø’s Pelle the Conqueror as art that humanizes labor. Ezra Pound denounces U.S. tariffs on foreign books for fostering cultural isolation. The editor’s note reports financial strain but vows persistence, while “The Reader Critic” prints fiery debates on art versus life and a Berlin dispatch on Marsden Hartley. A vers libre contest notice and ads close the number, rounding out a compact portrait of modernist energy and argument. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
