First published in 1979, the prestigious publication has been a commanding presence in Britain’s literary scene for over 3 decades, offering the reviews and comments of prominent literary figures on a range of books. Famous for it’s “Bad Sex in fiction award” which was first launched in 1993, as well as reviews by such literary luminaries as A.S. Byatt, Martin Amis and Hilary Mantel, Literary Review has been at the forefront of British literature for a generation; the digital archive will help to inspire another generation of literary fanatics.
