Beverley Hills, California: The Magazine Corporation,, 1933-1934. First editions, first printings, comprising all six issues of volume 1, and the first issue of volume 2, of this California-based monthly "little magazine" edited by John McAllister, Richard Perry, Fred Kuhlman, and Arthur Rohman. The Magazine was an aspiring literary venture that sought to publish the best pieces of Modernist prose and poetry by authors famous and undiscovered alike. This set includes early writings by William Carlos Williams, Kenneth Patchen, Cecil Day Lewis, Elizabeth Bishop, William Saroyan, and many others. "The Magazine is one of a few little magazines of the early thirties not committed, either directly or tacitly, to a political program or a social emphasis. It publishes much material from the 'California group of writers', many of them influenced by the teaching and example of Stanford University's Yvor Winters" (Allen, Hoffman, & Ulrich, p. 311). The mission of The Magazine is stated in no uncertain terms in the introduction to the second volume: "Selection will be made from all present-day literary groups, playing no favorites. The editors do not arm themselves with a viewpoint: though demanding a specific standard in technique excellence, they will judge only on the simple criterion of honesty of purpose. Unknown writers will be granted space as well as those who have already made names for themselves... 'The Magazine' in entering upon Volume II refuses to promote the interests of any special group. The desire will be simply to present the best in the contemporary literary scene". The Magazine follows the "little magazine" tradition, which flourished in the 20th century; such magazines "have usually been the sponsors of innovation, the gathering places for the 'irreconcilables' of our literary tradition. They have been broadly and amply tolerant of literary experiment; in many cases, they have raised defiantly the red flag of protest and rebellion against tradition and convention" (Allen, Hoffman, & Ulrich, p. v). The second and final volume, published bi-monthly and renamed The Magazine: A Journal of Contemporary Writing, ran from July 1934 to June 1935 for a total of six issues. 7 volumes, quarto. Original dark blue, green, yellow, white, orange, and pale blue wrappers, titles to front wrappers in white and black, edges untrimmed. Wrappers bright, slight rubbing and creasing to extremities of no. 1, couple of small marks to front wrapper of no. 5, contents fresh. A very good set indeed. Charles Allen, Frederick J.
