Second printing of second edition. 95 pages. Jane Heap told her pupils that when she "met the teaching in the person of G. I. Gurdjieff she turned her back on her old life, locked her studio on Long Island and painted no more." From that time in 1924 until her death in 1964, she sought to understand and apply to her own life the Gurdjieff teaching, while fulfilling significant functions in transmitting the ideas to others. After several years of work and preparation, Gurdjieff sent her to assist A.R. Orage in establishing work groups in London, and in editing Beelzebub's Tales to His Grandson.Jane Heap left no lectures, no books, only the notes she wrote down for talks to her groups on the ideas of Gurdjieff. Her legacy was an oral, living one, passed through her pupils, who marveled at her exceptionally brilliant mind and remarkable gift for exact formulation, stirring one's feeling as well as thought. As Mrs. A. L. Staveley, her pupil for some 20 years, said, "she was an artist in words as well as materials of all kinds. The precision with which an idea was presented, the fact that it appeared as a picture rather than as verbal thought, was a little shock and entered a pupil as an unforgettable impression." Peter Brook, also a pupil of Jane's, has described her as "gentle, ferocious, and compassionate," with the ability to link "the tiniest details of everyday life to the laws and forces that condition all humanity." She was known to possess a "wonderful sense of humor, a needle sharp wit, and a penchant for weighty, succinct sayings."Sometime after her death, Jane's extensive notes, all hand written, were meticulously typed by her surviving pupils in London, and a copy was sent to Mrs. Staveley at Two Rivers Farm. Selections from the notes were made in the early 1980's simultaneously in London by pupils there, and here at Two Rivers by Mrs. Staveley. The London selection was published by Two Rivers Press as The Notes of Jane Heap, and remains in print. The notes selected and edited here at Two Rivers, including a selection of "Jane Heap sayings," were first published in 1983, under the title Jane Heap / Notes, in a limited edition of 100 handset letter press copies, for private distribution. This second edition is an exact facsimile reproduction of the first edition, now published for public distribution. New cloth bound in dust jacket.

Previous owners name on front wrapper. Overall fair to good condition as normal for this issue. Final and uncommon issue of the infamous "Little Review" periodical published by Margaret Anderson and Jane Heap. From the editorial page, Margret Anderson writes: "I began The Little Review because I wanted an intelligent life. By intelligent I didn't and don't mean (1) the ability to follow an argument, (2) the capacity for documentation, (3) the gift of erudition, authority, strong physical vibrations, or any of the other primary signs by which people seem to get labelled intelligent at the moment when I am finding them particularly uninteresting. By intelligence I meant creative opinion." Of course, all the opinionated creativity that Anderson published got her into trouble with the law, especially when the magazine began publishing 'Ulysses' in serial format. For this final issue, the editors reached out to "more than fifty of the foremost men in the arts [to] tell the truth about themselves in this issue." Within this list of fifty 'men' were 16 women. The list of writers and artists solicited to write confessions and letters based on a short questionnaire included: Richard Aldington Margaret Anderson Sherwood Anderson George Antheil Marcel Arland Djuna Barnes Natalie Barney Harold Bauer Alexander Berkman Maxwell Bodenheim Constantin Brancusi Mary Butts Herman Closson Jean Cocteau René Crevel Nancy Cunard Charles Demuth T. S. Eliot Havelock Ellis Janet Flanner Ford Madox Ford Elsa-Baroness von Freytag Eva Gautier André Gide Emma Goldman H. D. Jane Heap Ben Hecht Ernest Hemingway Aldous Huxley Otto Kahn James Joyce Georgette Leblanc Wyndham Lewis Jacques Lipchitz Mina Loy Pierre de Massot Robert McAlmon Moholy-Nagy Marianne Moore Paul Morand Gorham B. Munson A. R. Orage Fritz Peters Thomas Peters Ezra Pound Enrico Prampolini Dorothy Richardson Bertrand Russell Kurt Schwitters Evelyn Scott Edith Sitwell Solita Solano Philippe Soupault Gertrude Stein Joseph Stella Allan Tanner Mark Turbyfill Tristan Tzara William Carlos Williams Ossip Zadkine Caesar Zwaska Not all responded to the query. The list contains a wide range of individuals who were involved with the avant-garde, modernist journal over the 15-year period the "Little Review" was in print. The Magazine was known for championing experimental work and breaking away from traditional artistic forms. Previously owned by Madeleine Ruthven an American screenwriter and poet who was blacklisted as a Communist sympathizer in the 1950's. Man Ray and Bernice Abbott contributed photographic portraits of some of the respondents. To save costs, the "Little Review" was cheaply printed, and issues often are found in fair to good condition.

Condición: Near fine. First edition. Brancusi tribute issue of the celebrated Modernist journal, published in protest after the persecution and prosecution of the editors for their publication of ULYSSES. Founded in 1914, THE LITTLE REVIEW soon gained a reputation for its experimental approach to art, literature, and politics alike. After enduring arrest and trial in 1920-1 for daring to print installments of Joyce's ULYSSES, Anderson and Heap decamped to Paris and continued to publish THE LITTLE REVIEW through the end of the decade. This issue's bold announcement: "As PROTEST against the suppression of the Little Review containing various instalments of the "ULYSSES" of JAMES JOYCE, the following artists and writers of international reputation are collaborating in the autumn number of THE LITTLE REVIEW: BRANCUSI, JEAN COCTEAU, JEAN HUGO, GUY CHARLES CROS, PAUL MORAND, FRANCIS PICABIA, EZRA POUND." Contains a full-page advertisement and order form for Sylvia Beach's own famous and then-forthcoming publication of ULYSSES. Additional contributors include Iwan Goll, Mina Loy, Kenneth Burke, Clement Pansaers, and Mary Butts. Special mention must also be made of Elsa von Freytag-Loringhoven's "Criticism of William Carlos William's 'Kora in Hell'"; context is supplied by Margaret Anderson's autobiography, which records the Baroness's "tragic spring" of unrequited love for the poet. Williams unwittingly lent false hope to Loringhoven by offering a basket of peaches in tribute to her own poems: "He brought me peaches and now he won't look at me. Not just peachesthey were ripe peaches. Are American men really so naïve as that?" 9.5'' x 7.5''. Modern quarter-bound marbled papers. Original wrappers bound in. 112 pages. Touches of shelfwear. Faint toning to pages. Else bright and clean.
