The Masses


NOTE: Readers should not that this page is a legacy page from earlier in the history of the Marxists Internet Archive. It has since been bypassed by the later additions of the of many full issues of the The Masses with all the art work in higher resolution digital scans located here.


The Masses was published monthly in the U.S. from 1911-1917, when government supression shut it down. It was succeeded by the Liberator and then later the New Masses. It published reportage, fiction, poetry and art by the leading radicals of the time such as Max Eastman, John Reed, Floyd Dell and the satirists featured here.
