History

Granta was founded in 1889 by students at Cambridge University as The Granta, edited by R. C. Lehmann (who later became a major contributer to Punch) It was started as a periodical featuring student politics, badinage and literary efforts. The name is an older form of what is today called the River Cam, the river that runs through the town. An early editor of the magazine was R. P. Keigwin, the England cricketer and Danish scholar. The University of Cambridge (often Cambridge University), located in Cambridge, England, is the second-oldest university in the English-speaking world and has a reputation as one of the worlds most prestigious universities. ...

Rebirth

During the 1970s the publication encountered financial difficulties, and increasing levels of student apathy, and as a result had to be rescued by a group of interested postgraduates.[citation needed] It was relaunched in 1979 as a magazine of "new writing" aimed both at writers and at a wider audience than its original one in Cambridge. Bill Buford (who wrote Among the Thugs originally as a project for the journal) was the editor for its first 16 years in the new incarnation; Granta has been edited by Ian Jack since 1995. In April 2007 it was announced that Jason Cowley, editor of the Observer Sport Monthly, will succeed Jack as editor in September 2007. As of September 2004, its circulation was 46,831.

Granta Best of Young British Novelists

In 1983, Granta (issue #7) published a list of 20 young British novelists as names to watch out for in the future. Since then, the magazine has repeated the exercise in 1993 (issue #43) and in 2003 (issue #81). In 1996 (issue #54), Granta also published a similar list of promising young American novelists, to be repeated at the end of 2006.


With the benefit of hindsight many of the selections have been extremely prescient, with at least 12 of those listed either winning or being shortlisted for major literary awards such as the Man Booker Prize and Whitbread Prize. By the same token however a number of those included on the lists have since disappeared without trace. The Man Booker Prize for Fiction, also known as the Booker Prize, is one of the worlds most prestigious literary prizes, awarded each year for the best original full-length novel written in the English language by a citizen of the Commonwealth of Nations or the Republic of Ireland. ... The Whitbread Book Awards are among the United Kingdoms most prestigious literary awards. ...


The inclusion of Adam Thirlwell and Monica Ali on the 2003 list caused some controversy as neither had yet actually published a novel [1]. Thirlwell's debut Politics later met with mixed reviews, although Ali's Brick Lane found much success. One of the covers of Politics Politics is a 2003 novel by Adam Thirlwell about a father-daughter relationship and about a ménage à trois which includes said daughter and two of her friends. ...


More controversy ensued when Dan Rhodes contacted everyone else on the 2003 list to try to get them to make a joint statement in protest against the Iraq war, which was gaining momentum at the time. Not all the writers responded, becoming one of the reasons Rhodes almost decided to quit writing altogether [2]. For other uses, see Iraq war (disambiguation). ...

Granta - definition of Granta in Encyclopedia (221 words)
Granta is a literary magazine which publishes new writing — fiction, personal history, reportage and investigative journalism — four times a year.
Granta was founded in 1889 by students at Cambridge as The Granta, a periodical of student politics and literary affairs, named after a river that runs through the town.
During the 1970s, it ran into trouble—dwindling money, mounting apathy—from which it was rescued by a small group of postgraduates, notably Ian Jack, who successfully relaunched it as a magazine of new writing.
