Summary:

"The Little Review, April 1915 (Vol. 2, No. 2)" by Margaret C. Anderson is a literary magazine published in the early 20th century. This issue features a collection of essays, poetry, and critiques from various authors, reflecting the burgeoning modernist sentiments of the time. The topics range from social criticisms regarding censorship and artistic expression to explorations of music and poetry, encapsulating the vibrant cultural discussions of the era. At the start of this issue, the editor expresses her desire to cover numerous topics ranging from the unjust treatment of critics in the music industry to the implications of censorship highlighted by the arrest of birth control advocate Margaret Sanger. The opening essays critique the American musical landscape, particularly the reception of Scriabin's work, while weaving in broader commentary on societal norms and the role of art in social progress. The editor's lively prose sets the tone for a lively discussion of art, politics, and human experience, inviting readers to engage with and reflect on the complexities of their time.
