==I. Introduction==
'''''The Little Review''''' was a literary magazine founded in 1914, very shortly before World War 1 broke out. Founded by Margaret Anderson,  it labeled itself as a platform for experimental writing and international art. One of the most defining traits of '''''The Little Review''''' was the refusal to compromise for the general public, including eventually adding the motto "Making No Compromise with the Public Taste", and leaving pages blank to protest a lack of publicly supported material. Eventually, an organization known as the Society for the Suppression of Vice would charge the magazine with obscenity, and force the discontinuation of the magazine.

The sudden outbreak of World War 1 during the early months of publication caused a huge shift in the tone of the magazine. The war would cause a shift toward more discussions of anarchy, and the end of the war was followed by a marked upswing in more feminist dialog.

This graph clearly shows spike and decline of anarchism in relation to World War 1. The first edition, which released just months before the start of the war, primarily focuses on feminism. Almost immediately after, anarchism spikes at the start of the war, and feminism begins to fall dramatically. As the war progresses, anarchy grows more and more, matching the feelings of the author in relation to political events taking place around that time, such as the execution of anarchist poets in England. After the war ends, anarchy quickly falls off, and feminism begins to once again be a major topic. Near the end of the magazines life, feminism begins to spike again, but due to it being shut down it is hard to know if that trend would have continued.

This is a more concise view of what is represented above, clearly showing the rapid decline of feminism, the subsequent peaks of anarchism, and the final revival of feminism.

==III. Timeline==

Much of the timeline is focused on the change in cover images, as well as notable events related to world war 1. The titles clearly show the shift in content, starting from a very plain design and progressively becoming more and more dramatic and exciting as time goes on. The major shifts in style are the introduction of color shortly after World War 1, which hints at the dramatic content within, and the introduction of the abstract designs as the magazine begins to feature more and more art.

The World War 1 events often tie closely to major shifts in the magazine, for example the execution of anarchist poets in England ties closely to spikes in anarchist articles, and major battles often coincide with articles on anarchism.
