The Hound & Horn was a literary quarterly founded by Harvard students Lincoln Kirstein and Varian Fry in 1927. Modeled on T. S. Eliot's The Criterion, it was intended to focus on student life at Harvard and work submitted by its students and alumni. The publication later broadened in scope to include modern writers. The title of the magazine was taken from Ezra Pound's poem "The White Stag": "Tis the white stag, Fame, we're a hunting, bid the world's hounds come to horn." R. P. Blackmur served as the magazine's first managing editor from 1928 to 1930, when the magazine moved its headquarters to New York. Hound & Horn ceased publication in 1934.…

Condition: Good. Comprising twenty-eight issues, a complete run, in original wrappers. Wrappers generally VG, roughly half of the issues have darkened and worn spines, a dozen are soiled to one degree or another, two are stamped, and one is stained. All interiors near fine. The Hound and Horn began in 1927 as an ambitious undertaking of Lincoln Kirsten and Varian Fry, two Harvard University undergrads. They created a handsome, intelligent magazine, which drew primarily on the talents of precocious Harvard students, Cambridge dons, and Harvard alum. At the start of its third year, it dropped its parochial subtitle, "A Harvard Miscellany," and remade itself as a national literary quarterly, with the assistance of R. P. Blackmur and Bernard Bandler II, who joined the editorial staff. Other editors included A. Hyatt Major (1931-32), Allan Tate (1932-34), and Yvors Winter (1932-34). As William McPheron has said, from that point on, The Hound and Horn "evolved…into an increasingly important voice on cultural matters, its pages both featuring and brilliantly analyzing modernist developments in the literary, visual, and performing arts." (Chielens, American Literary Magazines, p. 142). With the end of The Dial in July 1929, Hound and Horn assumed the premier place in American literary criticism. Throughout its run, although it attempted to remain independent of ideology, it featured articles that advocated a Marxist approach to literature, the new humanism, the New Criticism of Blackmur, and later the Agrarianism of Tate. It was an enthusiastic promoter of modernist art, featuring reproductions of work by Brancusi and Picasso. Besides the editors, other contributors included Ezra Pound, Katherine Anne Porter, E.E. Cummings, Marianne Moore, Wallace Stevens, William Carlos Williams, and photographs by Harry Crosby and Walker Evans. The penultimate issue was a brilliant collection of essays devoted entirely to the works of Harvard graduate Henry James. The Hound and Horn was one of the most important literary magazines of the 20th century.…
