Margaret Anderson and Jane Heap, eds., The Little Review, June 1918. Harry Ransom Center Book Collection.

Read the second article in a series devoted to objects that tell the story of women who supported James Joyce and the publication of his landmark novel, Ulysses. In this week’s installment, Clare Hutton (Loughborough University) explores the determination and generosity of Margaret Anderson and Jane Heap, editors of an avant-garde American periodical dedicated to the publication of Modernist literature. Subsequent blogs will be released fortnightly, each exploring an object significant to the making of Ulysses.
