The Midland was a regional little magazine which was published between 1915 and 1933 in the United States. Its subtitle was A Magazine of the Middle West between its start in 1915 and 1929. [1] Then it was changed as A National Literary Magazine which was used until its closure in 1933. [1] It was the most significant regional little magazine of the period. [1]
The Midland was launched in 1915, and the first issue appeared in January that year. [2] [3] Its publisher was John Springer from Economy Advertising Company. [2] John T. Frederick was both the founder and the sole editor of the magazine which featured essays and fiction written by local authors. [1] [3] From 1925 to 1930, Frank Luther Mott served as its coeditor. [4] The magazine was instrumental in making the Midland literary work independent of the influence of the Eastern states. [1] It gained a considerable prestige due to its focus on regionalism, different perspectives towards literary work, and local, national and global issues that were significant for its readers. [5]
During its lifetime the frequency of The Midland was changed several times: monthly (1915–1917; 1923–1927), bimonthly (1918–1919; 1928–1933) and monthly and bimonthly (1920–1922). [4] The magazine was launched in Iowa City, but in 1917 its headquarters moved to Moorhead, Minnesota. [2] From 1919 to 1921, it was published in Glennie, Missouri, and from 1922 to 1923 its headquarters was in Pittsburgh. [2] Then The Midland was based in Chicago. [2] The magazine ceased publication with the issue dated May–June 1933. [4] In November 1933, it merged with Frontier to establish Frontier and Midland magazine. [4]
