Literary Magazines- Repository of Interesting Ideas and Information

A lexicon would define a literary magazine as any periodical devoted to literature. These could be essays, short stories, poems, interviews reviews, biographies or even letters. Literary magazines are also called journals.

 

The first British North American periodical in English was The Nova Scotia magazine which was published on a monthly basis during the period 1789 – 92 , which consists of reprinted articles and extracts on politics and literature. The Quebec Magazine ( 1792 – 4 ) was also one of the first time monthly publications, which was the first bilingual magazine as well which carried interesting articles on science, politics and health among other topics which are of interest to the general public.

 

The North American Review is the oldest American literary magazine, whose publication was suspended during World War II. However, Yale journal is the oldest literary magazine in continuous publication. Today, literary magazines have become an important feature of life all over the world. Some of the earlier magazines that were published in the 20the century include Times Literary Supplement, Virginia Quarterly Review, Southern Review and New Letters among others. Some of the coveted awards presented for literary magazine articles include the Pushcart Prize and the O. Henry Awards. With the advent of publications, the writers could choose any publications of their choice to ensure maximum circulation and publicity, which gave a further impetus to the growth of literary magazines.

 

Around a decade back, online literary magazines made their first appearance. These paperless literary works have been the latest trendsetter in the fast evolving literary magazines field. Though initially many writers were apprehensive about the potential and acceptance of online literary magazines, these have become huge hits among the readers. Some of the best known online literary magazines include Eclectica Magazine, Failbetter, Monkeybicycle, Spike Magazine and Word Riot among many others.

 

The latest trend in literary magazines show a sharp rise in the family magazines, entertainment news and illustrated periodicals compared to the intellectual publications that catered to the interests of only selected readers. These days, diverse literary publications are readily available in the market to cater to the niche market. From politics to entertainment, fashion and technology there is something special for everyone in magazines.

Scott Joplin: Treemonisha $25.62 Scott Joplin’s (1867-1917) opera Treemonisha is an astounding work of art, and one that resonates on many levels.

40th Century Man: Selected Verse, 1996-1966 $24.63 Poetry. Andy Clausen”s character voice is heroic, a vox populi of the democratic unconscious, a ”divine average” thinking workman persona. As ”one of the roughs,” a Whitmanic laborer, precisely a union hod-carrier longstanding, his bardic populism”s grounded on long years” painful sturdy experience earning family bread by the sweat of his brow. His comments on the enthusiastic Sixties, defensive Seventies, unjust Eighties and bullying Nineties present a genuine authority in America not voiced much in little magazine print, less in newspapers of record, never in political theatrics through Oval Office airwaves. The expensive bullshit of Government TV poetics suffers diminution of credibility placed side by side with Mr. Clausen”s direct information and sad raw insight. Would he were, I”d take my chance on a President Clausen! –Allen Ginsberg.

A Cumberland Vendetta (Dodo Press) $7.46 John Fox, Jr. (1862-1919) was an American journalist, novelist, and short story writer. He graduated in 1883 before becoming a reporter in New York City. After working for both New York Times and the New York Sun, he published a successful serialization of his first novel, A Mountain Europa, in Century magazine in 1892. Two moderately successful short story collections followed, as well as his first conventional novel, The Kentuckians in 1898. Fox gained a following as a war correspondent, working for Harper”s Weekly in Cuba during the Spanish-American War of 1898, where he served with the Rough Riders. Six years later he travelled to the Orient to report on the Russo-Japanese War for Scribner”s magazine. Though he occasionally wrote for periodicals, after 1904, Fox dedicated much of his attention to fiction. The Little Shepherd of Kingdom Come (1903) and The Trail of the Lonesome Pine (1908) are arguably his most well known and successful works.

A Feeling of Belonging $202.11 When we imaging the activities of Asian American women in the mid-twentieth century, our first thoughts are not of skiing, beauty pageants, magazine reading and sororities. Yet, Shirley Jennifer Lim argues, these are precisely the sorts of leisure practices many second generation Chinese, Filipina, and Japanese American women engaged in during this time. In A Feeling of Belonging, Lim highlights the cultural activities of young, predominantly unmarried Asian American women from 1930 to 1960. This period marks a crucial generation–the first in which American-born Asians formed a critical mass and began to make their presence felt in the United States. Though they were distinguished from previous generations by their American citizenship, it was only through these seemingly mundane American activities that they were able to overcome two-dimensional stereotypes of themselves as kimono-clad Orientals. Lim traces the diverse ways in which these young women sought claim to cultural citizenship, exploring such topics as the nation’s first Asian American sorority, Chi Alpha Delta; the cultural work of Chinese American actress Anna May Wong; Asian American youth cultural and beauty pageants; and the achievement of fame of three foreign-born Asian women in the late 1950s. By wearing poodle skirts, going to the beach, and producing magazines, she argues, they asserted not just their American-ness, but their humanity: a feeling of belonging.

A Lady’s Life in the Rocky Mountains $34.83 Isabella L Bird (1831 – 1904) was a 19th century British traveler and writer. Since her father was a Church of England priest the family moved many times during her childhood. Bird traveled to Colorado when she heard the air was very healthy. She covered the 800 miles on horseback riding like a man and not sidesaddle. During her adventure she wrote a series of letters home to her sister. These were published in the Leisure Hour magazine. The letters were later published in her most famous book A Lady”s Life in the Rocky Mountains.

A Long Fatal Love Chase $7.99 I’d gladly sell my soul to Satan for a year of freedom, cries impetuous Rosamond Vivian to her callous grandfather. Then, one stormy night, a brooding stranger appears in her remote island home, ready to take Rosamond to her word. Spellbound by the mysterious Philip Tempest, Rosamond is seduced with promises of love and freedom, then spirited away on Tempest’s sumptuous yacht. But she soon finds herself trapped in a web of intrigue, cruelty, and deceit. Desperate to escape, she flees to Italy, France, and Germany, from Parisian garret to mental asylum, from convent to chateau, as Tempest stalks every step of the fiery beauty who has become his obsession. A story of dark love and passionate obsession that was considered too sensational to be published in the authors lifetime, A Long Fatal Love Chase was written for magazine serialization in 1866, two years before the publication of Little Women. Buried among Louisa May Alcott’s papers for more than a century, its publication is a literary landmark–a novel that is bold, timeless, and mesmerizing.

A Master of Mysteries (Illustrated Edition) (Dodo Press) $13.07 Illustrated mystery novel, first published in 1898. L. T. Meade was the pseudonym of Elizabeth Thomasina Meade Smith (1854-1914), a prolific writer of girls stories in late 19th century England. She began writing at 17 and produced over 300 books in her lifetime. Her most famous book was, A World of Girls, published in 1886. She was also the editor of a popular girl’s magazine Atlanta. She also co-authored a number of notable mystery novels. With Robert Eustace (1868 or 1854-1943), she wrote The Brotherhood of the Seven Kings, which featured a gang headed by a female criminal mastermind, Madame Koluchy. Also with Eustace, she wrote The Sorceress of the Strand that had another female criminal, Madame Sara. She wrote Stories from the Diary of a Doctor with Clifford Halifax, M.D..

A Picture and a Criticism of Life $66.11 Dreiser”s captivating portraits of turn-of-the-century America”s famous figures Before coming to national attention for his novel Sister Carrie, Theodore Dreiser worked for nearly a decade as a magazine editor and freelance writer.

A Prairie Kitchen: Recipes, Poems and Colorful Stories from the Prairie Farmer Magazine, 1841-1900 $14.95 Developing recipes and sharing the results has been a lifelong vocation for Rae Katherine Eighmey. Today her kitchen library has thousands of recipes from 19th and 20th century cookbooks and pioneers’ journals and magazines. It is her goal to make them easy for today’s cooks to make in their own kitchens, and she has adapted hundreds of them for modern cooking methods. She says translating these recipes is part detective story, part chemistry and part old-fashioned cooking skill.

A Theory for Everything $25 One of America’s best-known essayists on science, physicist Jeremy Bernstein, here presents his latest collection of work. Drawn from over ten years of writing for magazines such as The Atlantic, The New York Review of Books, The New Yorker, and Scientific American, these essays provide illuminating accounts of the lives of some of this century’s most important scientists and the value of their work. Bernstein’s fans who remember these pieces from their original publication will be pleased to see that many that had to be cut – sometimes drastically – to fit magazine space requirements are here restored to their original length. Bernstein has added introductions and postscripts to many essays as well. In all, this collection contains a great deal of new and unpublished material. An added bonus is Bernstein’s four pieces of published fiction – three of which are hilarious send-ups of academic and sexual politics at a small and (we hope) imaginary college.

A Tree Grows in Brooklyn $14.95 A true American classic first published in 1943, this is the tale of a little girl living in the slums of Brooklyn, who dreamily watches out her window as a tree struggles to reach the sky.From The Publisher:The American classic about a young girl’s coming-of-age at the turn of the century.About The Author:Betty Smith was born Elisabeth Wehner on December 15, 1896, the same date as, although five years earlier than, her fictional heroine Francie Nolan. The daughter of German immigrants, she grew up poor in the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, the very world she re-creates with such meticulous detail in A Tree Grows in Brooklyn. After marrying fellow Brooklynite George H.E. Smith, she moved with him to Ann Arbor, Michigan, where he was a law student at the University of Michigan. The young bride soon had two daughters, Nancy and Mary, and was forced to wait until the girls had entered grade school before endeavoring to complete her own formal education. Although she had not finished high school, the largely autodidactic Smith was permitted to take classes at the university, and she concentrated her studies there in journalism, drama, writing and literature. She capped her education by winning the Avery Hopkins Award for work in drama, and did a three-year course in playwriting at the Yale Drama School. After stints writing features for a Detroit newspaper, reading plays for the Federal Theatre Project, and acting in summer stock, Smith landed in Chapel Hill, North Carolina under the auspices of the W.P.A. She and her first husband divorced in 1938. In 1943, she married Joe Jones, a writer, journalist, and associate editor of the Chapel Hill Weekly, while he was serving as a private in the wartime army. That same year, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn, her first novel, was published. The prestige of writing a best-selling, critically lauded book brought assignments from the New York Times Magazine, for which she wrote both light-hear

Adventure Capitalist $16 Investor Jim Rogers proves that the best way to profit from the global situation is to see the world mile-by-mile in the course of his three-year adventure which set the Guinness record for longest continuous car journey.From The Publisher:Drive . . . and grow rich! The bestselling author of Investment Biker is back from the ultimate road trip: a three-year drive around the world that would ultimately set the Guinness record for the longest continuous car journey. In Adventure Capitalist, legendary investor Jim Rogers, dubbed the Indiana Jones of finance by Time magazine, proves that the best way to profit from the global situation is to see the world mile by mile. While I have never patronized a prostitute, he writes, I know that one can learn more about a country from speaking to the madam of a brothel or a black marketeer than from meeting a foreign minister. Behind the wheel of a sunburst-yellow, custom-built convertible Mercedes, Rogers and his fiancee, Paige Parker, began their Millennium Adventure on January 1, 1999, from Iceland. They traveled through 116 countries, including many where most have rarely ventured, such as Saudi Arabia, Myanmar, Angola, Sudan, Congo, Colombia, and East Timor. They drove through war zones, deserts, jungles, epidemics, and blizzards. They had many narrow escapes. They camped with nomads and camels in the western Sahara. They ate silkworms, iguanas, snakes, termites, guinea pigs, porcupines, crocodiles, and grasshoppers. Best of all, they saw the real world from the ground up–the only vantage point from which it can be truly understood–economically, politically, and socially. Here are just a few of the author’s conclusions: The new commodity bull market has started. The twenty-first century will belong to China. There is a dramatic shortage of women developing in Asia. Pakistan is on the verge of disintegrating. India, like many other large nations, will break into several countries. The Euro is doo

Albert Einstein $36.95 Written by the man considered the Person of the Century by Time magazine, this is not a glimpse into Einstein’s personal life, but an extension and elaboration into his thinking on science.

Einstein created the theory of relativity and was also one of the founders of quantum theory. Here, Einstein describes the failure of classical mechanics and the rise of the electromagnetic field, the theory of relativity, and of the quanta. Written in German by Einstein himself, the book is faced, page-by-page, with a translation by the noted Professor of Philosophy Paul Arthur Schilpp.

American Manufactory $44.33 This cultural history of American federalism argues that nation-building cannot be understood apart from the process of industrialization and the making of the working class in the late-eighteenth-century United States. Citing the coincidental rise of federalism and industrialism, Laura Rigal examines the creations and performances of writers, collectors, engineers, inventors, and illustrators who assembled an early national world of things, at a time when American craftsmen were transformed into wage laborers and production was rationalized, mechanized, and put to new ideological purposes. American federalism emerges here as a culture of self-making, in forms as various as street parades, magazine writing, painting, autobiography, advertisement, natural history collections, and trials and trial transcripts.Chapters center on the craftsmen who celebrated the Constitution by marching in Philadelphia’s Grand Federal Procession of 1788; the autobiographical writings of John Fitch, an inventor of the steamboat before Fulton; the exhumation and museum display of the first American mastodon by the Peale family of Philadelphia; Joseph Dennie’s literary miscellany, the Port Folio; the nine-volume American Ornithology of Alexander Wilson; and finally the autobiography and portrait of Philadelphia locksmith Pat Lyon, who was falsely imprisoned for bank robbery in 1798 but eventually emerged as an icon for the American working man. Rigal demonstrates that federalism is not merely a political movement, or an artifact of language, but a phenomenon of culture: one among many innovations elaborated in the manufactory of early American nation-building.

Locations have been provided in cases that might prove problematic.

Art in Vienna 1898-1918 $35 The artistic stagnation of Vienna at the end of the nineteenth century was rudely shaken by the artists of the Secession. Their works at first shocked a conservative public; but their successive exhibitions, their magazine Ver Sacrum, and their application to the applied arts and architecture soon brought them an enthusiastic following and wealthy patronage. This third edition, with over 60 new colour plates, brilliantly traces the course of this development, of the Wiener Werkstatte that followed, and the individual works of the artists concerned. Klimt, Kokoschka and Schiele were the leading figures in the fine arts; Wagner, Olbrich, Loos and Hoffmann in architecture and the applied arts. In other fields Mahler, Freud and Schnitzler were influencing the avant-garde. The author quotes extensively from the writings, many of them not previously published in English, of contemporary reviewers, critics and the artists themselves. He has eye-witness accounts of the exhibitions, the opening of the Secession building, the work in progress on the Palais Stoclet and the Kabarett Fledermaus. The result is a fascinating documentary study of the successes and failures, hopes and fears of the members of an artistic movement which is much admired today.

Art, Music, and Literature, 1897-1902 $3.76 Dreiser’s captivating portraits of turn-of-the-century America’s famous figures Before coming to national attention for his novel Sister Carrie, Theodore Dreiser worked for nearly a decade as a magazine editor and freelance writer.

Artspace Is/Artspace Was $141.93 An irreverent document of Artspace’s 15-year commitment to exhibitions, publications, performances, videos and film, this book challenges the notion of what an organization for and about artists can be at the dawn of the 21st century. Supported by Artspace grants, the guerilla artists of Survival Research Laboratories terrorized San Fransisco with robots and air cannons, Karen Finley astonished audiences at Theater Artaud, and Jenny Holzer sucker-punched unsuspecting Giants fans with big-board LED messages at Candlestick Park. Here are projects by such provocateurs as General Idea, Jessica Diamond, David Mach, and Patrick Ireland, stills from videos by Tony Oursler and Sophie Calle, and the legendary Lunch Movies of emeritus museum director Jim Elliot, featuring Candy Darling. From Shift magazine come articles by Ingird Sischy and Kathy Acker; images from the newly released Chris Munch film Sleepy Time Gal; and excerpts from Artspace Books, an artist-writer series featuring works by John DeFazio, Dave Hickey, David Wojnarowicz, Jack Pierson, Jim Lewis, Nan Goldin, Klaus Kertess, Gregory Crewdson, Rick Moody and A.M. Homes. Artspace Is/Artspace Was is an engaging presentation of artists who know to combine subversion and fun in their work.

Autobiography of a Pocket Handkerchief $1.64 In this rare and unusual text, a pocket handkerchief tells its story–from flax field to its creation in Paris, and on to respectable Manhattan society.

Best known for his historical romances and tales of life on the frontier, Last of the Mohicans is considered to be his masterpiece.

Best Poems and the Book of Five Makings $20.93 This text comprises two collections of Ivor Gurney”s poetry. Best Poems consists of fair copies of 64 poems. The Book of Five Makings is more of a working draft, with recastings of the same poems, revealing the process by which he brought his work to completion. This text contains 52 poems and eight revised versions. Of the 116 poems in these volumes, only 25 are previously collected. Gurney”s career began with two small volumes of verse, Severn and Somme and War”s Ember”s. Then in 1922 he entered an asylum from which only an occasional poem in a magazine emerged, but he did not stop writing. Gurney put volumes of his work together, as John Clare did a century earlier, without hope of publication. The various titles he had in mind, such as Rewards of Wonder state his poetic position and represent his own viewpoint.

Bob Marley: A Life $17 One of the twentieth century”s most revered cultural figures, Bob Marley was responsible for carrying reggae music far beyond the Caribbean and establishing it as an international force. He set attendance records that still stand in Europe and his 1977 Exodus album was hailed by Time magazine as the greatest of the 20th Century, but Marley was no mere pop star: His combination of politically and socially conscious lyrics, unforgettable melodies, uncompromising Rastafarian beliefs and fierce hostility to the injustices of Babylon made his music the voice of the poor and dispossessed all over the globe. In this new biography, Garry Steckles tells Marley”s story from his birth in rural Jamaica to his tragically early death in 1981, by which time he”d overcome poverty and prejudice to become the Third World”s first superstar.

Boob Jubilee: The Cultural Politics of the New Economy $128.85 Salvos of sane and humorous dissent from the worship of the almighty market. For A Magazine Dedicated to debunking the nation’s business culture, the final years of the twentieth century overflowed with bounty. It was the most spectacular outbreak of mass delirium that we are likely to see in our lifetimes, wrote the editors of The Baffler. What was for others the dawn of a New Economy was for The Baffler a cornucopia of absurdity–the costliest political and financial hustle in living memory. Reporting from places far from the white-hot centers of the libertarian revolution, Baffler writers were the people of whom it was fashionable to say they just don’t get it. While New Democrats turned somersaults for Wall Street and economic commentary became puffery, these bold, talented, and very funny writers observed the crescendo of folly with which the century turned. Here their best writings are selected, updated, and reaffirmed, to sharpen our wits and inoculate us against follies yet to come.

Both Sides the Border: A Tale of Hotspur and Glendower (Illustrated Edition) (Dodo Press) $24.86 George Alfred Henty (1832-1902), referred to as G. A. Henty, was a prolific English novelist, special correspondent, and Imperialist born in Trumpington, England.

His works include Out on the Pampas (1871), The Young Buglers (1880), With Clive in India (1884) and Wulf the Saxon (1895).

While most of the 122 books he wrote were for children, he also wrote adult novels, non-fiction such as The March to Magdala (1868) and Those Other Animals (1891), short stories for the likes of The Boys Own Paper and edited the Union Jack, a weekly boys magazine.

Building a Century of Progress $39.95 From the summer of 1933 to the fall of 1934, more than 38 million fairgoers visited a 3-mile stretch along Lake Michigan, home to Chicago’s second World’s Fair. Millions more experienced the Century of Progress International Exposition through newspaper and magazine articles, newsreels, and souvenirs. Together, all marveled at the industrial, scientific, consumer, and cultural displays, many of which were housed in fifty massive and colorful exhibition halls, the largest architectural project realized in the United States during the Great Depression. In the richly illustrated Building a Century of Progress, Lisa D. Schrenk explores the pivotal role of the 1933 Chicago World’s Fair in modern American architecture. She recounts how the exposition’s architectural commission promoted a broad definition of modern architecture, not relying on purely aesthetic characteristics but instead focusing on new design solutions. The fair’s pavilions incorporated recently introduced building materials such as masonite and gypsum board; structural innovations (for example, the first thin-shell concrete roof and the first suspended roof structures built in the United States); and new construction processes, most notably the use of prefabrication. They also featured curiosities like the giant, constantly operating mayonnaise maker and the glass-walled House of Tomorrow, which had no operable windows. Schrenk shows how the halls’ designs reflected cultural and political developments of the period, including the expanding relationships between science, industry, and government; the rise of a corporate consumer culture; and the impact of the Great Depression. Many of the designsprovoked intense responses from critics and other prominent architects, including Frank Lloyd Wright and Ralph Adams Cram, fueling heated debates over the appropriate direction for architecture in the United States. Demonstrating the rich diversity of progressive American building design seen at the fa

Camera Works: Photography and the Twentieth-Century Word $20.55 Camera Works is about the impact of photography and film on modern art and literature. For many artists and writers, these new media offered hope of new means of representation, neither linguistic nor pictorial, but hovering in a kind of utopian space between. At the same time, the new mediaintroduced a dramatic element of novelty into the age-old evidence of the senses. For the avant-garde, the challenges of the new media were the modern in its most concentrated form, but even for aesthetically unadventurous writers they constituted an element of modern experience that could hardly beignored. Camera Works thus traces some of the more utopian projects of the transatlantic avant-garde, including the Readie machine of Bob Brown, which was to turn stories and poems into strips of linguistic film. The influence of photography and film on the avant-garde is traced from the early days of CameraWork, through the enthusiasm of Eugene Jolas and the contributors to his magazine transition, to the crisis created by the introduction of sound in the late 1920s. Subsequent chapters describe the entirely new kind of sensory enjoyment brought into modern American fiction by the new media. What Fitzgerald calls spectroscopic gayety, the enjoyable disorientation of the senses by machine perception, turns out to be a powerful force in much American fiction.The revolutionary possibilities of this new spectatorship and its limitations are pursued through a number of examples, including Dos Passos, James Weldon Johnson, and Hemingway. Together, these chapters offer a new and substantially different account of the relationship between modern Americanliterature and the mediatizedsociety of the early twentieth century. With a comprehensive introduction and detailed particular readings, Camera Works substantiates a new understanding of the formal and historical bases of modernism. It argues that when modern literature and art respond to modernity, on a forma

Charles Brockden Brown and the Literary Magazine $101.71 From 1803 to 1807, Charles Brockden Brown served as editor and chief contributor to the Literary Magazine, and American Register, a popular Philadelphia miscellany. His position allowed him to observe and comment upon life in the United States and transatlantic world during the nineteenth century’ first decade. America’s first novelist, he moved to journalism in his later years. This book considers how Brown’s Literary Magazine contributed to the development of cultural cohesiveness and political stability in the young United States. It explores the intellectual and cultural setting in which this Philadelphia miscellany was published, the political writing that appears in what Brown claimed was a politically neutral venue, and the social and cultural criticism that attempts to guide the development of the American character. During his twenty years as an author, he participated in disseminating texts of cultural and literary worth. Brown’s essays and reviews assisted in the establishment of reading habits in America and influenced the public reception of the early American press.

Charles M. Russell $45 Charles M. Russell????????????????????????cowboy, painter, sculptor, writer????????????????????????was an advocate of the people, animals, landscapes, and ideals of the West. Perhaps most importantly, he was an archivist. Through his detailed and honest paintings, sculptures, line drawings, and prose, he memorialized the Western way of life as it was at the turn of the twentieth century. Far from romanticizing the West, Russell”s art captured the harsh and beautiful reality of the everyday world he lived in. Russell was one of those rare artists who was famous during his lifetime. Most books about Russell focus on his masterpieces, but Charles M. Russell: Printed Rarities from Private Collections examines the lesser-known but ubiquitous commercial works that made him a household name. These magazine covers, postcards, calendars, cigar boxes, ink blotters, letterheads, and artifacts are today some of the most highly sought after Russell memorabilia.
