Commerce, a literary review founded by Marguerite Caetani, appeared in the form of twenty-nine "quarterly issues published under the supervision of Valéry, Fargue and Larbaud" between 1924 and 1932. Its publication formed part of the competitive tradition of French reviews of the 1920s and did not merely showcase the most prominent authors of French literature: it played the role of "discoverer" of young talents and unearthed forgotten seminal texts.
