The Southern Review, a literary journal co-founded in 1935 by Robert Penn Warren and Cleanth Brooks and located on the campus of Louisiana State University, publishes fiction, poetry, critical essays, interviews, book reviews, and excerpts from novels in progress by established and emerging writers. The Southern Review appears four times per year and includes reproductions of visual art. When making editorial decisions, The Southern Review continues to rely on Robert Penn Warren's articulation of the mission when he said The Southern Review gives "writers decent company between the covers, and editorial authority sufficiently for the journal to have its own distinctive character and quality."
Famous quotes containing the word southern:
“As it grew darker, I was startled by the honking of geese flying low over the woods, like weary travellers getting in late from Southern lakes, and indulging at last in unrestrained complaint and mutual consolation. Standing at my door, I could hear the rush of their wings; when, driving toward my house, they suddenly spied my light, and with hushed clamor wheeled and settled in the pond. So I came in, and shut the door, and passed my first spring night in the woods.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
