The Windsor Review is a bi-annual journal [1] publishing new and established writers from North America and beyond. It was established in 1965 by Eugene McNamara, [2] [3] and was originally named The University of Windsor Review. [4] The Windsor Review is one of Canada's oldest continuously published literary magazines, celebrating its 50th year in 2015.
The Windsor Review was founded in January 1965 [5] at the University of Windsor in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. It has evolved into an internationally recognized literary and arts focused journal publishing contemporary literary fiction, poetry, creative nonfiction and review essays. The journal was originally modeled on Canadian and American university quarterlies like The Dalhousie Review and The Kenyon Review. [6]
In the early years, academic articles predominated the magazine including essays by Marshall McLuhan [7] and Hugh Fox. [8] From the third issue, The Windsor Review attracted established North American literary writers, and the journal's focus shifted by the mid-seventies from literary criticism to new literary writing. McNamara retired from the journal in 1987, and in 1993 its name was shortened to The Windsor Review. Under Dale Jacobs’ editorship, in October 2019, the magazine became an open access online journal. In Fall 2019, André Narbonne guest-edited The Windsor Review at 50+ [9]
