Johns Hopkins U. Will Resume Publication of Long-Dead Literary Review
After a hiatus of more than five decades, the Johns Hopkins University’s literary journal The Hopkins Review will start publishing again this fall, according to The JHU Gazette. Founded in 1947 by the Hopkins Writing Seminars, the university’s writing program, the Review published work by such literary figures as the poets Richard Wilbur and E.E. Cummings and the fiction writer John Barth, whose first story appeared in the journal. It ceased publication in 1953.
The Writing Seminars and the university’s press will jointly publish the revamped journal as The Hopkins Review: New Series. The first issue has a high-flying lineup, with essays by Mr. Barth and Frank Kermode, fiction by Donald Barthelme and Stephen Dixon, and poetry by John Hollander and Mary Jo Salter, among others.
John T. Irwin, a humanities professor at Hopkins, has signed on to edit the journal, with aspirations to make it the equal of The Yale Review or The Virginia Quarterly Review. “It’s going to have the very best writers in it,” he told the Gazette. “We want it to be an expression of Hopkins’s commitment to the humanities and to the highest standards of writing.” —Jennifer Howard

This is very good news. I feel sorry for the students of today who don’t have a supply of “little magazines” to choose from for their leisure reading.

I would respectfully disagree with David McCullough. There are many, many literary magazines today. But they require the subscriptions of readers like McCullough to stay afloat. What about Opium Magazine, Tin House, Glimmer Train Stories, Jubilat, Kalliope, Inkwell, Maisonneuve, Zone 3, Natural Bridge, Meridian … these are just a small sampling of the little magazines we have here on our shelves at the North American Review. Mr. McCullough … read these for YOUR leisure reading.
