Secession (magazine)
''Secession'' was an American expatriate little magazine edited by Gorham Munson, Matthew Josephson, and Kenneth Burke. During its two-year, eight issue run, ''Secession'' managed to further the careers of writers like Waldo Frank, Slater Brown, Robert Coates, E. E. Cummings, Marianne Moore, Wallace Stevens, Hart Crane, and William Carlos Williams, among others. Printed in cities like Vienna, Berlin, Reutte, and Brooklyn, New York, ''Secession'' is considered an exile magazine, and has been called the “liveliest” of the little magazines published abroad. In his article “The Interstice between Scylla and Charybdis,” Munson distinguished ''Secession'' from little magazines like ''The Little Review'' and ''Broom'', and stated that the goal for his magazine is to be “neither a personal nor an anthological magazine, but to be a group organ. 'Secession''will make group-exclusions, found itself on a group basis, point itself in a group-direction, and derive its stability ...

Literary Feud
A literary feud is a conflict or quarrel between well-known writers, usually conducted in public view by way of published letters, speeches, lectures, and interviews. In the book ''Literary Feuds'', Anthony Arthur describes why readers might be interested in the conflicts between writers: "we wonder how people who so vividly describe human failure (as well as triumph) can themselves fall short of perfection." Feuds were sometimes based on conflicting views of the nature of literature as between C. P. Snow and F. R. Leavis, or on disdain for each other's work such as the quarrel between Virginia Woolf and Arnold Bennett. Some feuds were conducted through the writers' works, as when Alexander Pope satirized John Hervey in ''Epistle to Dr Arbuthnot''. A few instances resulted in physical violence, such as the encounter between Sinclair Lewis and Theodore Dreiser, and on occasion involved litigation, as in the dispute between Lillian Hellman and Mary McCarthy.

The Criterion (magazine)
''The Criterion'' was a British literary magazine published from October 1922 to January 1939. ''The Criterion'' (or the ''Criterion'') was, for most of its run, a quarterly journal, although for a period in 1927–28 it was published monthly.

Eliot's goal was to make it a literary review dedicated to the maintenance of standards and the reunification of a European intellectual community. Although in a letter to a friend in 1935 George Orwell had said "for pure snootiness it beats anything I have ever seen", writing in 1944 he referred to it as "possibly the best literary paper we have ever had".
