The Anvil was an American literary and political activist magazine edited by Jack Conroy in the 1930s. The magazine had a leftist stance[1] and was subtitled "Stories for Workers." According to Douglas C. Wixson, its story "would make an important chapter in the history of American literature if the 1930s were properly recognized in standard textbooks."[2]
