Transition (literary journal) (1927–1938)
Experimental literary journal / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
transition was an experimental literary journal that featured surrealist, expressionist, and Dada art and artists. It was founded in 1927 by Maria McDonald and her husband Eugene Jolas and published in Paris.[1] They were later assisted by editors Elliot Paul (April 1927 – March 1928), Robert Sage (October 1927 – Fall 1928), and James Johnson Sweeney (June 1936 – May 1938). After the Second World War, the publishing license of transition was transferred from the Jolases and McDonald to Georges Duthuit who capitalized the title to Transition and changed its focus.[2]
It has been suggested that Transition (literary journal) (1948–1950) be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since July 2024. |
