Everything about The New American Review totally explained
The American Review has served as the title of three distinct
magazines:
19th century
The American Review, alternatively known as
American Review: A Whig Journal and
American Whig Review, was a
New York City-based
periodical in the 19th century. It is known today especially for the publication of "
The Raven" by
Edgar Allan Poe.
1930s
The American Review was founded by the
fascist publisher
Seward Collins in
1933 as the successor to his
periodical The Bookman. Collins intended it to serve as a vehicle for exploring
reactionary ideas in order to promote an American version of
fascism. Before it ceased publication in
1937, Collins published many notable literary and social
critics, including
T. S. Eliot,
G. K. Chesterton,
Hilaire Belloc, and many of the
Southern Agrarians. Among the latter,
Allen Tate made many appearances in the pages of
The American Review.
The periodical also served as a platform for English
Distributism, which advocated broad property ownership, local means of production, and subsistence farming. Many supporters of distributism were
monarchists who favored a strong role for the
church -- usually
Anglo-Catholic or
Roman Catholic&8212;and a return to a
hierarchical society modeled on that of the
Middle Ages. These
beliefs were sometimes of a
reactionary nature, as the growing
industrialization of the
West was seen as a grave threat to the creation of an ethical state.
In the inaugural issue of
The American Review, Collins praised
Benito Mussolini for creating an ethical state and championed the rise to power of
Adolf Hitler, whose revolution, Collins believed, heralded the end of the
Communist threat. Collins's pro-fascist statements were a constant feature of
The American Review throughout its literary lifespan.
1960s and 1970s
A literary magazine entitled
The New American Review debuted in
1967; in
1973 the title was reduced to
The American Review. It ceased publication in
1977.
Authors whose work was published in the American Review included
E. L. Doctorow,
Ralph Ellison,
Philip Roth,
Gunter Grass,
Ian McEwan,
Woody Allen,
Max Apple,
William Gass, and
Norman Mailer.
