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:
“When Abraham Lincoln penned the immortal emancipation proclamation he did not stop to inquire whether every man and every woman in Southern slavery did or did not want to be free. Whether women do or do not wish to vote does not affect the question of their right to do so.”
—Mary E. Haggart, U.S. suffragist. As quoted in History of Woman Suffrage, vol. 4, ch. 3, by Susan B. Anthony and Ida Husted Harper (1902)
