Summary "The Little Review, May 1914 (Vol. 1., No. 3)" by Various is a literary magazine published in the early 20th century, focusing on various artistic forms such as literature, drama, music, and art. This particular issue features a blend of essays, poetry, and dramatic criticism, showcasing the lively debates and evolving thoughts around contemporary culture and literature of the time. It captures the artistic spirit of an era marked by significant social and political change, exploring topics like nationalism, individual freedom, and the evolution of literature. The opening of this issue begins with a critical reflection on the plea for American literature to receive official recognition and support, specifically addressing an open letter to President Wilson by Edwin Björkman. The piece emphasizes that true art arises from an artist's intrinsic drive rather than through monetary incentives, urging for a literary culture that transcends nationalistic boundaries. Following this, the introduction sets the stage for various discussions and critiques, including Emma Goldman's radical ideas, a poem evoking themes of consciousness, and an exploration of the necessity of individual expression in art. Collectively, these pieces offer insightful commentary on the complexities of artistic creation during a transformative period in American history. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
