The London Magazine subscription

From the publisher

The London Magazine is England’s oldest literary periodical, with a history stretching back to 1732. Today – reinvigorated for a new century – the Magazine’s essence remains unchanged: it is a home for the best writing, and an indispensable feature on the British literary landscape.


Across a long life – spanning several incarnations – the pages of the Magazine have played host to a wide range of canonical writers, from Percy Bysshe Shelley, William Hazlitt and John Keats in the 18th-century, to T.S. Eliot, W.H. Auden and Evelyn Waugh in the early 20th-century. Meanwhile, in recent decades the Magazine has published work by giants of contemporary fiction and poetry such as William Boyd, Nadine Gordimer, and Derek Walcott.

In the Latest Issue:
The June/July 2019 issue of The London Magazine features essays on the Britain’s cultural debt to Europe, the cult fascination of relics, Laurel Forster on London history, a beautiful piece by Konrad Muller on the death of his father and the poetry of Carlos Drummond de Andrade, alongside literary journalism from Suzi Feay, Houman Barekat, Stephanie Sy-Quia and others. Among creative work is brilliant short fiction from Chuck Nwoke, and poetry from Salt Publishing Director Chris Emery, poetry in translation from Katherine Robinson, and two poems from the mercurial Robert Lundquist, whose book AFTER MOZART (HEROIN ON 5TH STREET) has recently been published by the New River Press.
