Reedy's Mirror was a literary journal in St. Louis, Missouri in the fin de siècle era.[1] It billed itself "The Mid-West Weekly."[2]

Contributors included Robert Frost, Carl Sandburg,[3] Ezra Pound, Vachel Lindsay,[1] Harris Merton Lyon,[4] Sara Teasdale,[5] Albert Bloch[6] and Theodore Dreiser.[1]

Edgar Lee Masters first published parts of his Spoon River Anthology in Reedy's Mirror over the course of 1914.[7]

Overview

The journal first appeared on February 25, 1891, under the title of the Sunday Mirror, published by The Sunday Mirror Company in St. Louis.[8] On February 28, 1895, the title was changed to The Mirror.[8]

On October 1896, it was bought back by James Campbell, and William Marion Reedy became the editor in December 1896.[8] He operated on a shoestring budget.[1] The journal was renamed Reedy's Paper until May 30, 1913, when it became known as Reedy's Mirror.[8]

An offspring of that journal called The Mirror was revived from 1920 to 1944, edited first by Charles J. Finger[9] and finally by Barry Lewis.[8]
