Commerce, a literary review founded by Marguerite Caetani, presented itself as twenty-nine "quarterly notebooks published under the care of Valéry, Fargue and Larbaud" between 1924 and 1932. Its publication forms part of the competitive tradition of French reviews of the 1920s and was not content merely to showcase the most prominent authors of French literature: it played the role of "discoverer" of young talents and unearthed forgotten seminal texts.
