Jane Heap (1883 – 1964) was an American
publisher and a significant figure in the development and promotion of literary
modernism. Together with
Margaret Anderson, her friend and business partner (who for some years was also her lover), she edited the celebrated literary magazine
The Little Review, which published an extraordinary collection of modern American,
English and
Irish writers between 1914 and 1929. Heap herself has been called "one of the most neglected contributors to the transmission of modernism between America and Europe during the early twentieth century."
