Though the little magazine has long been regarded as the preserve of modernist avant-gardes and elite artistic coteries, for whom it served as a form of resistance to mass media, MacLeod\u0026amp;#x2019;s detailed study of its origins paints a different picture. Combining cultural, textual, literary, and media studies criticism, MacLeod demonstrates how the little magazine was deeply connected to the artistic, social, political, and cultural interests of a rising professional-managerial class. She offers a richly contextualized analysis of the little magazine\u0026amp;#x2019;s position in the broader media landscape: namely, its relationship to old and new media, including pre-industrial print forms, newspapers, mass-market magazines, fine press books, and posters. MacLeod\u0026amp;#x2019;s study challenges conventional understandings of the little magazine as a genre and emphasizes the power of \"little\" media in a mass-market context.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eACKNOWLEDGEMENTS\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eINTRODUCTION -- Reviving the American Little Magazines of the 1890s\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART 1: SOCIAL, MEDIA, AND LITTLE MAGAZINE CONTEXTS\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 1 -- The Social and Cultural Formation of the Little Magazinist\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 2 -- Print Revolutions and the Making of the Little Magazine\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 3 -- The Big Little Magazines and the Evolution of the Genre\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePART 2: INSIDE THE MAGAZINES\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 4 -- Fiction: \"Literature Staggering Blindfold\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 5 -- Poetry: \"Literature on \"a Drunken Spree\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 6 -- Visual Art: \"Art Running Amuck through Posterdom\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 7 -- Literary Criticism and Editorials:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Every Dog Having His Day in Journalism\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 8 -- Social and Political Commentary:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\"Finding Fault with Things as They Are\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCHAPTER 9: Sayings: The Short and Shorter of It\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAFTERWORD: Little Magazines, Not So Little After All?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAPPENDIX A: UPDATED BIBLIOGRAPHY OF AMERICAN LITTLE MAGAZINES OF THE 1890S\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNOTES\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBIBLIOGRAPHY\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52596008026392,"sku":"9781487556433","price":34.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/american-little-magazines-of-the-fin-de-siecle-art-protest-and-cultural-transformation-paperback-softback-9781487556433","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
