Editorial Focus

Founded in 1892 by William Peterfield Trent, the Sewanee Review is the longest-running literary quarterly in America. SR has published many of the twentieth century’s great writers, including T. S. Eliot, William Faulkner, Eudora Welty, Wallace Stevens, Saul Bellow, and Katherine Anne Porter. “Whatever the new literature turns out to be,” wrote editor Allen Tate in 1944, “it will be the privilege of the Sewanee Review to print its share of it, to comment on it, and to try to understand it.” The mission remains unchanged.
