The Unpopular Review, Vol II, No 3, July-September 1914. Probably edited by Henry Holt (the publisher) but I have been unable so far to find an authoritative bibliographic reference stating this.
The Unpopular Review is a periodical from around the time of the first World War — a quarterly journal dedicated to exploring “unpopular” topics like tobacco reform, the higher education of women, and psychic research.
I have seen it described as “conservative.” And in some cases it is, especially with regards to the idea of governmental interference in one’s personal life. Well, conservative in 1914, at least. But it also has its progressive moments, like decrying the calls to teach only domestic science to college women, at the expense of traditional liberal arts courses.
And then there is the psychic research stuff, which given this first example I’m reasonably certain Holt is a believer. But not on faith — it appears he also wants to there to be scientific evidence.
While this is the first issue I’ve read (and frankly, I haven’t read it all the way through), I’m looking forward to seeing more issues — if only to follow the discussion on Simplified Spelling.
