Vol. 115 (2007) through current issue
Having never missed an issue in 115 years, the Sewanee Review is the oldest continuously published literary quarterly in the country. Begun in 1892 at the University of the South, it has stood as guardian and steward for the enduring voices of American, British, and Irish literature. Published quarterly (winter, spring, summer, fall), the Review is unique in the field of letters for its rich tradition of literary excellence in general nonfiction, poetry, and fiction, and for its dedication to unvarnished no-nonsense literary criticism. Each volume is a mix of short reviews, omnibus reviews, memoirs, essays in reminiscence and criticism, poetry, and fiction. Each issue coheres around a broad theme, such as Irish literature, southern letters, the literature of war, the modern Catholic novel, autobiography, and many other engaging topics. In this venerable journal you have the direct literary line to Flannery O'Connor, Robert Penn Warren, Hart Crane, Anne Sexton, Harry Crews, and Fred Chappell—not to mention, Andre Dubus and Cormac McCarthy, whose first stories were published in the Sewanee Review. Each issue is a brilliant seminar, an unforgettable dinner party, an all-night swap of stories and passionate stances. We invite you to subscribe to the Sewanee Review and explore the content that makes this magazine the most highly regarded of any literary quarterly in the world.
