Lapham's Quarterly is a literary magazine founded in 2007 by former Harper's Magazine editor Lewis H. Lapham. Each issue examines a theme using primary source material from history. The inaugural issue "States of War" contained dozens of essays, speeches, and excerpts from historical authors ranging from Thucydides, William Shakespeare, Sun Tzu, Mark Twain, among others. Recent issue themes included "The City," "Sports & Games," and "Arts & Letters." Each issue includes an introductory essay by Lapham, readings from historical contributors, and essays by contemporary writers and historians such as Salman Rushdie, Christopher Hitchens, Francine Prose, and Simon Winchester.
Lapham's Quarterly is published by the American Agora Foundation, a not-for-profit foundation dedicated to fostering interest in history. [1]
