The Little Review, July 1914 (Vol. 1, No. 5)

A snapshot of the avant‑garde spirit of 1914, this issue gathers daring poems, sharp essays, and lively literary commentary. Readers will hear the rhythmic rain of Charles Ashleigh’s verses, the intimate confession of “Love in the Abyss,” and the fierce jealousy that crackles through a passionate monologue. The pages pulse with the excitement of new artistic movements, from imagist experiments to bold reflections on morality and desire.

Interspersed with the poetry are thoughtful editorials and letters that capture the restless energy of a cultural scene on the brink of modernity. Short reviews, discussions of Dostoevsky, and musings on art and drama provide a rich context for the creative work. Listeners can expect a vivid portrait of an era where writers and artists were redefining language, emotion, and the very purpose of literature.
