From the 1700's to the present day, The London Magazine has played a vital role in the literary world.
First founded in 1732, The London Magazine appeared for 53 years as a counterbalance to The Gentleman’s Magazine. Re-launched in 1820 under John Scott’s editorship, it championed the work of Wordsworth, Lamb, De Quincey and Clare, as well as the ‘Cockney School’ of poets. Welcoming the publication under John Lehmann’s editorship, T.S.Eliot saw it as “the magazine which will boldly assume the existence of a public interested in serious literature”.
From Armitage to Zephaniah . . . expand your literary vocabulary. The London Magazine intends to maintain the quality of content in a cultural review renowned for publishing only the best of London's writers, artists and commentators.
Recent contributors have included: Michael Blackburn, Roddy Lumsden, Mario Petrucci, John
Hartley Williams, George Szirtes, Martyn Crucefix and many more.
Consistently on the pulse of what is happening on the literary scene, The London Magazine is a meeting place of the day's greatest minds.
The London Magazine is a bimonthly publication.
