“Partisan Review was an American political and literary quarterly published from 1934 to 2003…
Founded by William Phillips and Philip Rahv; it was originally sympathetic to Communist, but because stridently anti–Communist post–Stalin.
Many of its early authors were the children of Jewish immigrants from Europe. The journal reached its peak influence from the late 1930s to the early 1960s, but then gradually lost its relevance to modern American culture.
In 1949, Partisan Review awarded George Orwell £357 for the year’s most significant contribution to literature, Nineteen Eighty–Four.
