Stapled Pamphlet. Condizione: Very Good binding. Octavo. [2] 197-226 pp. First edition. As issued in self wrappers. This copy has covers that are toned and a trifled soiled; contents clean. The Reviewer began as a biweekly, shifted to a monthly and concluded its final years as a quarterly. A significant publication begun by Emily Clark, Hunter Stagg, Mary Dallas Street, and Margaret Freeman in Richmond in 1921. While its earliest issues are largely if not exclusively southern writers, over its 4 years it published work from some of the most talented writers of the period, southern and otherwise. In addition to publishing heavyweights like Gertrude Stein, Ellen Glasgow, H.L. Mencken, Carl Van Vechten, Amy Lowell, and others, it brought out new writers like Julia Peterkin who would go on to be the first southern novelist to win a Pulitzer Prize. In 1924 it was moved to Chapel Hill where Paul Green took over editing the magazine for its final year. In 1925, all unpublished manuscripts were used to begin The Southwest Review, still in publication today. In his article, "'An Experiment of Southern Letters': Reconsidering the Role of The Reviewer in the Southern Renaissance," Benjamin Wise writes, "The magazine was essential in the literary awakening of the region during this timeand is essential to our understanding of the periodnot just because it was published, but because of what it published, who published it, and when it was published." He goes on to write, "The Reviewer changed over time in its short career, and the writing in its pages reflected the contested cultural terrain of the South in these years. It provided a forum for writing from and about the South, and in doing so The Reviewer played a crucial role in the development of a new artistic sensibility that reshaped southern literature." For such a significant publication which had at its peak over a thousand subscribers, it is fairly uncommon to find individual issues. Smith, Leanne. "Reviewer, The" Encyclopedia Virginia.

Offsetting to front endpapers from laid-in news clippings; tiny, light spot to title; else a nice copy. Jacket is worn at the ends of the spine panel and corners with minor loss and has neat internal reinforcements at the spine ends. FIRST EDITION. The first of the author's two short story collections. "The Honest Wine Merchant" was recognized by the O'Henry Memorial Award in 1930 and "The Lost Governess" was included in O'Brien's "Anthology of the Best Short Stories of 1930." James Branch Cabell provides a blurb on the dust jacket. Helena Lefroy Capterton (1878-1962), a native of Richmond, wrote on local history, contributed book reviews and articles to the Ricmond Times-Dispatch and other newspapers, and edited "The Social Record of Virginia" (1937). However, she is remembered mostly for her short fiction, collected here and in a second anthology, "Like a Flying Falcon" (1943). All of her stories were compiled in 1950 under the title "Legends of Virginia," where they received a laudatory introduction by Dorothy Parker. Haynes 2870.…
