Transatlantic Avant-Gardes: Little Magazines and Localist Modernism

Eric White

Engaging with recent studies of modernist journals and the historical avant-garde, Eric White investigates how modernist writers interrogated the relationship between physical places, the printed page, and national identity in the transatlantic print networks of the early twentieth century. He articulates the ways in which artist-run ‘little magazines’ such as Blues, The Dial, Contact, Fire!!, Others, The Little Review, Pagany, S4N, and Secession formed the crucible of transnational modernism and simultaneously ‘located’ its avant-gardes in specific environments.
