Margaret Anderson(Nov.24 1886-Oct.19 1973)
Anderson grew up in Indiana in a comfortable middle-class home. After leaving Western College for Women, in Ohio, she landed in Chicago where she looked for work as a writer. She wrote for The Dial but spurred by the lack of inspiration, she founded The Little Review in March 1914. Jane Heap joined as co-editor in 1916. In 1917 the two moved the magazine to New York. At this time, Ezra Pound became foreign editor, bringing along with him European writers. Anderson and Heap were charged with obscenity over the magazine’s publication of James Joyce’s Ulysses and convicted in 1921. Anderson moved to Paris in 1922 and left The Little Review in 1924.
Jane Heap (Nov. 1, 1883-June 16, 1964)
Heap was born in Topeka, Kansas and was interested in art as a child. She attended the Art Institute of Chicago from 1901 until 1905 and later studied art in Germany. Heap became co-editor of The Little Review with Margaret Anderson in 1916 and contributed under the pseudonym “jh” to protect her anonymity. After the trial over Ulysses in 1921, Heap and Anderson’s relationship deteriorated, causing Anderson to leave the magazine in 1923. Heap was sole editor and used the opportunity to change the focus of The Little Review to the visual arts. Ending publication in 1929, Heap followed the work of Russian philosopher George Gurdjieff and began teaching his philosophy in London.
