The demise of the Partisan Review doesn’t mean the magazine will be forgotten. “From its inaugural issue as an independent journal, in 1937, which included Delmore Schwartz’s short story ‘In Dreams Begin Responsibilities,’ a poem by Wallace Stevens and contributions by Lionel Trilling, Sidney Hook and Edmund Wilson, to its heyday in the 1940’s and 50’s, the journal published an astonishing range of landmark work. For many Americans, Partisan Review was their introduction to Abstract Expressionism, existentialism, New Criticism and the voices of talented young writers like Robert Lowell, Norman Mailer, Elizabeth Hardwick and Susan Sontag.”
