The Little Review, May 1916 (Vol. 3, No. 3) by Various
"The Little Review, May 1916 (Vol. 3, No. 3)" by Various is a literary periodical written in the early 20th century. This issue presents a collection of poetry, criticism, short stories, essays, and cultural commentary, reflecting the artistic, social, and intellectual discussions of its time. The topics range from modernist literature and art to reflections on war, individualism, and the purpose of artistic creation, with contributions from recognized writers such as Sherwood
Anderson, Emma Goldman, Amy Lowell, and Ben Hecht. The opening of "The Little Review, May 1916 (Vol. 3, No. 3)" establishes its diverse and experimental character, beginning with a table of contents listing a wide array of entries—poems, essays, critical reviews, and original fiction. The section launches with Ben Hecht’s vivid impressionistic poems about objects and human forms, followed by satirical and reflective essays on amateurism and artistic authenticity. It features atmospheric lyric poetry, storytelling—like Sherwood Anderson’s war refugee tale "The Struggle"—and thought-provoking pieces on music, such as Margaret C. Anderson’s essay on Leo Ornstein. The early pages set a tone of innovation, critical self-awareness, and engagement with contemporary movements in art, literature, and social life, signaling to the reader that the journal values both creative experimentation and critical discourse.
