The Cambridge Literary Review is a triannual (termly) magazine of poetry, short fiction, and criticism. The CLR was founded in 2009 with generous assistance from the University’s 800th anniversary fund. It is edited by Boris Jardine and Lydia Wilson, and is run from the Department of History and Philosophy of Science, University of Cambridge.
In addition to its long and prestigious heritage, Cambridge has made a vital contribution to literature in the last fifty or so years, but it is our view that a burgeoning literary scene has not been adequately represented in journals with a wide readership. Our aim is to draw together the disparate elements of Cambridge writing. Our first issue—a Cambridge number—opened the debate, dealing with subjects such as Cambridge’s impact on writers and the possibility of a ‘Cambridge School’.
Submissions are now welcome from all quarters; please see the submissions page for details.
