Arts and Letters and
E-Library of Literature
This site publishes two multicultural journals -in many languages- dedicated to "Outer-Art" (movement consisting of upside down artworks), and respectively to "Paradoxism" (movement based on excessive use of antitheses, contradictions, paradoxes in creation). Besides avant-garde, there also are traditional literary papers.
     Therefore, you'd find manifestos, anti-manifestos, an outer-art gallery, essays, criticism, interviews, poetry, dramas, books, anthologies, etc.

The Paris Review
It fell to William Styron, then as now one of the advisory editors of the magazine, to state the purpose of The Paris Review and define its editorial policy. His letter appeared in the first issue "Dear reader," he wrote, "The Paris Review hopes to emphasize creative work, fiction and poetry, not to the exclusion of criticism, but with the aim in mind of merely removing criticism from the dominating place it holds in most literary magazines and putting it pretty much where it belongs, i.e., somewhere near the back of the book. I think The Paris Review should welcome these people into its pages: the good writers and good poets, the non-drumbeaters and non-axe-grinders. So long as they're good."

Street and Smith Preservation and Access Project
Street & Smith produced a wide variety of popular literature, including dime novels, pulp magazines, books in series for juveniles, fashion and homemaking magazines, comics, and adventure stories. Street & Smith authors, including such literary figures as Horatio Alger, Theodore Dreiser, Upton Sinclair, and Jack London were often disguised by house pseudonyms and wrote to carefully calculated formulae, with their respective products subject to extensive rewriting by Street & Smith editors.
