PartisanReview

BASH script to scrape the archives of the literary criticism journal The Partisan Review. Every issue of The Partisan Review can be found online, viewable in an antiquated HTML viewer:

http://hgar-srv3.bu.edu/web/guest/collections/partisan-review/contents

After loading up an issue take note of its url. Open the viewer frame into a full window if it is embedded within another page.

Provide two arguments: The first, in the URL, is the unique identifier for the issue you wish to download, for example 'PR1939V6N2' for Winter 1939. The second is the issue's total number of pages as seen in the viewer, for instance '128':

./PartisanReview.sh PR1939V6N2 128

If the img2pdf package is installed, then a PDF file will be generated. If not, then you will be left with a folder containing the issue's pages in JPG format.
