Hard to uncover, this is a complete copy of the
16 January 1911 semi-monthly Dial literary journal. Long published in Chicago (and later NY), this one is in very good condition.
See photo for "Contents" information.
27 pages.
Some highlights I find include an opening editorial on the establishment of a first-time Chicago Opera.
A four-page contemporary essay of some note on the tragic life and works of Irish poet and playwright John Millington Synge by the young author and literery critic Warren Barton Blake. See photo #2 for a photo of the opening page.
Regular Dial contributor Percy F. Bicknell's article on "Empire-Builders," in this case south African imperialist Cecil Rhodes.
Walter L. Fleming's essay on "Men and Manners in Colonial Virginia."
The able William Morton Payne on contemporary poets of the day, "A Group of Long Poems."
Commentary columns on the 87th birthday of Thomas Wentworth Higginson, on newly-discovered poems by Whittier, on George Bernard Shaw, etc.
Much more, new book reviews and news, notes, etc.
