Started in 1918 by Max Eastman and his sister Crystal Eastman to continue the work of The Masses and provide a platform for publishing John Reed’s reporting on the Bolshevik Revolution, The Liberator continued the political and labor writing of its predecessor, as well as its emphasis on art, poetry, and fiction.
The Masses
The Masses, a richly illustrated radical magazine, was published monthly in New York from 1911 until 1917, when it was suppressed by the government for its anti-war and anti-government perspective.
