The Partisan Review

Partisan Review was an influential American literary and cultural magazine founded in 1934. It served as a platform for discussing literature, politics, and social issues, especially during the mid-20th century. Originally associated with leftist ideas, it later shifted towards more conservative and anti-Communist perspectives. The magazine was known for promoting modernist writers and intellectual debates, impacting American thought and culture significantly. It played a key role in shaping post-war American literary and political discourse, blending art, politics, and critique in a way that challenged mainstream ideas at the time.
