The Seven Arts The Seven Arts, an early example of the Little Magazine, was edited by James Oppenheim, Waldo Frank, and Van Wyck Brooks; it appeared monthly from November 1916 through October 1917. Jointly envisaged by Oppenheim and Frank, "The Seven Arts" was an attempt to anticipate and influence the United States' emerging “renascent period;” in the first issue the editors explain: “In short, "The Seven Arts" is not a magazine for artists, but an expression of artists for the community.” Of the many contributors to the magazine, Sherwood Anderson, J. D. Beresford, Randolph Bourne, Theodore Dreiser, Robert Frost, Kahlil Gibran, D. H. Lawrence, Amy Lowell, Paul Rosenfeld, and Louis Untermeyer were among the most prolific.

Scriblerus Club The Scriblerus Club was an informal association of authors, based in London, that came together in the early 18th century. They were prominent figures in the Augustan Age of English letters. The nucleus of the club included the satirists Jonathan Swift and Alexander Pope. Other members were John Gay, John Arbuthnot, Henry St. John and Thomas Parnell. The group was founded in 1714 and lasted until the death of the founders, finally ending in 1745. Pope and Swift are the two members whose reputations and work have the most long-lasting influence. Working collaboratively, the group created the persona of Martinus Scriblerus, through whose writings they accomplished their satirical aims. Very little of this material, however, was published until the 1740s. Robert Harley, 1st Earl of Oxford and Mortimer occasionally joined the club for meetings, though he is not known to have contributed to their literary output. The club began as an effort to satirize the abuses of learning wherever they might be found, which led to "The Memoirs of Martinus Scriblerus". The second edition of Pope's "The Dunciad" also contains work attributed to Martinus Scriblerus.

At a London society party in 2009 she approached her to announce that she ‘hated’ Theobald’s novels adding that "A Partial Indulgence" was “Like vomit coming at you off the page.”
