History
The Oxonian Review was established in 2001 at Balliol College, Oxford, as the Oxonian Review of Books, [2] [1] as a termly print magazine featuring essays and reviews of recently published work in literature, politics, history, science, and the arts, written mostly by postgraduate students of the University of Oxford. [3] It now also serves as a venue featuring creative writing work by both "University members and non-Oxford affiliates". As a term-based magazine, its Editor in Chief and the editor of the ORbits, shorter pieces published throughout the week during term time, "are appointed for a term". [1]
In November 2008, the publication carried out a large recruitment drive in order to expand beyond Balliol College and reach a wider audience. It relaunched in January 2009 as a web-based magazine, publishing fortnightly during term time, and annually in print. It was also renamed TheOxonian Review in 2009. [1] The magazine also now organises a series of events [4] in Oxford, including speaker dinners, seminars, [5] music evenings, film screenings, competitions, [1] and writers' workshops.
In 2022, The Oxonian Review began welcoming undergraduate students on its staff, and is encouraging towards submitted work that has "variety and experiment" rather than only "polish and perfection." [6]
Relevance
While The Oxonian Review publishes essays [7] and reviews, [8] and fiction [9] and poetry, it is particularly noted for its interviews, including those of the Dutch animator and director Michaël Dudok de Wit, [10] and of the poets Geoffrey Hill [11] and Victoria Chang. [12]
A number of reviews published in the magazine are frequently featured on the websites of the publishers and authors they focus on.
