No one seriously interested in the character of public knowledge and the quality of debate over American alliances can afford to ignore the complex link between press and policy and the ways in which ...mainstream journalism in the U.S. portrays a Third World ally. The case of Iran offers a particularly rich view of these dynamics and suggests that the press is far from fulfilling the watchdog role assigned it in democratic theory and popular imagination.

Anyone who has done work in literary archives will have made discoveries of one kind or another—unknown letters, perhaps, or early versions of works that were published later in different forms. ...Occasionally a scholar will find a short story, poem, essay, or memoir that has never seen print. If the author is relatively unknown or the archive unexplored, there might even be an entire novel or book of poems or collection of nonfiction that has never been published. One’s instinct is to put these texts into print. Before pursuing publication, however, certain questions should be addressed. What exactly has been discovered? Of what significance is the item? Is it finished work, or is it a project that the author abandoned? Is the discovery in the public domain? If not, who owns the literary rights? Has the piece been published already under a different title? How should the text be presented—as is, or with emendations? Where should it appear? What will the reaction from readers and colleagues likely be? Some tentative answers will be offered in this article.

This essay argues that attending to the bibliographic codes of early and multiple versions can enhance our understandings of the material forms of texts in the ways that George Bornstein modeled in ...Material Modernism. Focusing on modernist women’s complex engagements with print cultures, the essay analyzes pages from Willa Cather’s novel The Professor’s House, Zora Neale Hurston’s short story “Sweat”, Gwendolyn Brooks’s sonnet “the progress”, and Una Marson’s poem “Little Brown Girl”. These texts are most widely available in editions that place their richest print contexts “under erasure”. This essay argues that these kinds of material analyses can be used to center the work of Black women modernists as these approaches can enrich the research and teaching of less canonical texts without as many versions.

Drawing on George Bornstein’s idea of a “textual aura”, this essay proposes a distinct instantiation of this effect arising from the particular circumstances of periodical publication and reception, ...a magazine aura. Jean Toomer’s publications in a range of modernist magazines illustrate the manifestations of a magazine aura, with particular attention to Toomer’s appearances in Broom and The Little Review.
