- Description:
- A significant part of the critical and creative legacy of Lillian Smith is the magazine that she and her partner Paula Snelling published from 1936 to 1945.
Lillian and Paula began publishing a small, quarterly literary magazine, Pseudopodia, in 1936. The magazine encouraged writers, black or white, to offer honest assessments of modern Southern life, to advocate for social and economic reform; and it criticized those who ignored the Old South's poverty and injustices.
Their magazine quickly gained regional fame as a forum for liberal thought, undergoing two name changes to reflect its expanding scope. In 1937 it became the North Georgia Review. In 1942, the magazine was renamed South Today and then ceased publication in 1945.
For many years, Pseudopodia/North Georgia Review/South Today has been available in print or on microfilm at only about 45 U.S. university and research libraries; and as far as can be determined, the magazine is not held in any form by libraries outside the U.S. So the online availability of the complete extent of this magazine is very important to facilitate research in this crucial period of Lillian Smith's career and in the larger social context of the time. - Metadata URL:
