Transition was a Paris-based modernist literary journal founded in 1927 by Eugene Jolas that became one of the most influential platforms for experimental writing in the interwar period. Dedicated to challenging traditional literary forms, the magazine published work by leading figures such as James Joyce, Gertrude Stein, Samuel Beckett, and Hart Crane, often showcasing texts that pushed the boundaries of language and narrative. Its pages were especially important for serializing excerpts of Joyceâs Work in Progress (later Finnegans Wake), thereby introducing avant-garde readers to his evolving style.
