An Author Index to Little Magazines of the Mimeograph Revolution references approximately 100 literary magazine (or "little magazine") titles published between 1959 and 1980, aiding researchers in finding approximately 20,000 works by more than 500 individual writers and poets. Christopher Harter focuses on a select but important subgenre of little magazines that originated during the "Mimeograph Revolution." This era is significant in the history of twentieth-century American literary magazines because the decreased cost of production resulted in a tremendous increase in the number of such magazines. The period is also noteworthy in that the "mimeos" differed from the reviews of earlier decades because of the lack of cohesion around a particular school of writers and an opposition to the increasingly corporate nature of mainstream publishing in the late twentieth century. For students and scholars of contemporary writing, this index is an excellent resource for locating and tracing the publication of individual works by authors and poets.
