'Making No Compromise': Margaret Anderson and the Little Review
on view from October 1, 2006, to January 5, 2007

Famous for her strong opinions about art as well as for her beauty and wit, 
radical editor Margaret Anderson was a key figure in American and European 
Modernism. Between 1914-1929, Anderson's pioneering art and literature 
magazine the Little Review published poetry, criticism and artwork by many 
of the most significant writers and artists of the twentieth century, 
including William Butler Yeats, Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein, Pablo Picasso, 
Hart Crane, Man Ray, Mina Loy, Wyndham Lewis, T.S. Eliot, Sherwood 
Anderson, and Francis Picabia. James Joyce's Ulysses appeared serially in 
the Little Review before it was published in its entirety 1922; the Little 
Review and its editors became the subjects of a widely-publicized obscenity 
trial when the United State Post Office deemed some segments of the work 
obscene and refused to distribute copies.

'Making No Compromise' celebrates the life and work of Margaret Anderson 
and the Little Review's remarkable influence on twentieth-century arts and 
letters. The exhibition is drawn largely from the Margaret 
Anderson-Elizabeth Jenks Clark Collection, housed at the Beinecke Library.
