''Le Petit Journal des Refusées'' (French, “The Little Journal of Rejects”) was a San Francisco-based literary magazine published in 1896.〔Johanna Drucker, "''Le Petit Journal Des Refusées'': A Graphical Reading," ''Victorian Poetry'' 48.1 (2010), 139.〕 Though the magazine intended to be a quarterly publication, it only produced one issue during its short existence. == Background == Deliberately amateurish and playful in content and design, this independent magazine was created by the humorist Gelett Burgess under the pseudonym of James Marrion 2nd. Other known contributors included Burgess’ artist friends Ernest Peixotto, Porter Garnett, and Bruce Porter,〔Johanna Drucker, "Bohemian by Design: Gelett Burgess and ''Le Petit Journal Des Refusées''," ''Connexions''.〕 all of whom were familiar with the popular print culture of their day, as well as the experimental trends being spearheaded by UK- and US-based little magazines.〔Johanna Drucker, "''Le Petit Journal Des Refusées'': A Graphical Reading," ''Victorian Poetry'' 48.1 (2010), 140.〕 ''Le Petit Journal des Refusées'' was published on July 1, 1896. It was part of a wave of over two hundred other short-lived little magazines that surfaced in the United States during the 1890s.〔Brad Evans, "''Le Petit Journal Des Refusées'' (review)," ''The Journal of Modern Periodical Studies'' 1.2 (2010), 229.〕 Its publication was announced in issue six of ''The Lark'' (October 1895), another magazine founded by Burgess, in a call for submissions: : The Century is Coming to a Close! Hurry Up and Get Your Name in Print or You’ll be Left. There are 63,250,000 people in the United States. 50,000 have suffered amputation of both hands. For the remaining 63,200,000 writers, there are only 7000 periodicals.〔Quoted in Johanna Drucker’s "Bohemian by Design: Gelett Burgess and ''Le Petit Journal Des Refusées''," ''Connexions''.〕 Though critics today have remarked upon the magazine’s innovative graphical language and potential proto-modernist influence, Burgess himself was dismissive of the magazine’s accomplishments. In a 1904 letter to Houghton Library benefactor Thomas Newell Metcalf, Burgess wrote that he was “rather ashamed of the thing”, suggesting his work was part of “the riot of foolish magazinelets then prevalent”.〔Quoted in Brad Evans’s "Introduction to ''Le Petit Journal Des Refusées''."
