005 - Sister Barbara by Gilbert Cannan

The Blue Review, a brief yet vibrant monthly journal published in London from May to July 1913, aimed to capture the spirit of the literary scene of its time. Edited by the notable John Middleton Murry and Katherine Mansfield, this publication was the successor to Rhythm and managed to produce only three issues. Each edition showcased a blend of poetry, short stories, and insightful reviews covering theatre, music, and the arts, as well as recently published works in both English and French. The third and final issue features captivating poetry by Rupert Brooke, compelling short stories by Katherine Mansfield and Gilbert Cannan, and an insightful review of Thomas Manns Death in Venice by D. H. Lawrence. (Summary by Phil Benson)
