Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Unpopular Review, July-December 1917, Vol. 8 The American mind needs just such a stimulus to thinking all around every question. The freshness of its point of view is invigorating. The crying need of the weary old world is to get away from conventional viewpoints; conventional morality and conventional taste. It needs men and women who not only see things with their own eyes but do not fear to say that they have seen. We are living by habit and going to our death in as deadly a routine as if each soul was not a fresh and wonderful eternal adventure. [This is interesting and very suggestive. It is really our intention to stand up for most of the "conventional morality and conventional taste." But we confess that many a "point of view" from which they have hitherto been mapped seems to us no longer tenable, and we often try to base our surveys upon new ones. Editor] Amid the avalanche of fiction tumbling down upon us, it ought to afford a refuge for some weary souls. I have read with the liveliest interest a copy of The Unpopular Review and have found, indeed, "something Different." It is bright, crisp, snappy, zesty. The only thing I don´t like about it is the name. - Well, I guess Ill have to subscribe for it too. I have thoroughly enjoyed it. In an age when all the magazines of the country are running headlong in one direction, and dragging after them the people who like to have their thinking come ready-made, it is quite refreshing to meet a periodical which is distinctly different, and which has the witty flavor characteristic of the best English periodicals. ... the most virile and interesting magazine that I have ever seen. ... it would not bore me in the least to give you my impressions if I had any to give. I have no more impression of your magazine than my friend has of the girl he went to see the Sunday afternoon he discovered The Unpopular Review, but I am still waiting for the return of the magazine, and shall attempt to put aside all jealousy and give it a fair trial. It had the look of a good half-hour morsel before bed-time - and it postponed bed-time by just over three hours. Inasmuch as the copy you sent me is imprinted "No. 12" there is nothing to do (if you would have me content) but to send me Nos. I-II and to see that I get No. 13 and subsequent issues... The copy that I received had the most intelligent treatment of the suffrage question I have ever seen, just exactly as I would put it myself, if I knew how to put, and I would like all my fool sisters to be so enlightened, if that were possible. ... Hence the inadvertent failure to renew. But, God bless you, here is your $2.50 at last. I am a business person with a taste for literature, and your publication comes nearer satisfying that appetite than any other magazine I know. Can´t keep house without this now. Although the date was more than a year back, the articles are of such permanent value that the magazine seemed only superficially a "back number."
