History

Boston Review was founded as New Boston Review in 1975. A quarterly devoted to literature and the arts, the magazine was started by a group that included Juan Alonso, Richard Burgin, and Anita Silvey. In 1976, after the departure of some of the founding editors, the publication was co-edited by Juan Alonso and Gail Pool, and then by Gail Pool and Lorna Condon. In the late seventies, it switched from quarterly to bimonthly publication. In 1980, Arthur Rosenthal became publisher of the magazine, which was re-named Boston Review and edited by Nick Bromell. Succeeding editors were Mark Silk and then Margaret Ann Roth, who remained until 1991. Joshua Cohen replaced Roth in 1991. Deborah Chasman joined the editorial staff in 2001.

During the eighties, the focus of the magazine broadened and during the nineties became more politically oriented.

The publication has received praise from notable intellectuals like John Rawls and Henry Louis Gates, Jr..
