Making No Compromise: Margaret Anderson, Jane Heap, and the "Little Review"

Making No Compromise: The Story of Two Radical Women Who Shaped Modernism is a groundbreaking book that tells the fascinating tale of Margaret Anderson and Jane Heap, the pioneering editors of the avant-garde journal Little Review.

This comprehensive account delves into their lives, work, and the cultural movements they helped shape, including Imagism, Dada, surrealism, and Machine Age aesthetics.

Through their publication, Anderson and Heap introduced American audiences to the works of influential writers such as Ezra Pound, James Joyce, William Butler Yeats, and T.S.

Eliot, while also promoting women writers like Djuna Barnes, May Sinclair, Dorothy Richardson, Mina Loy, Mary Butts, and Baroness Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven.

The book also explores the duo's interest in esoteric questions and their adherence to George I.

Gurdjieff's spiritual teachings in the mid-1920s.

With its richly detailed narrative, Making No Compromise offers a welcome corrective to previous accounts of modernism and provides a fascinating glimpse into the lives of two remarkable women who played a crucial role in shaping the artistic and literary landscape of the 20th century.
