The Egoist (subtitled An Individualist Review) was a London literary magazine published from 1914 to 1919, during which time it published important early modernist poetry and fiction. In its manifesto, it claimed to "recognise no taboos",[1] and published a number of controversial works, such as parts of Ulysses.[2] Today, it is considered "England's most important Modernist periodical."[3]
