The Kenyon Review is an American literary journal based in Gambier, Ohio, and established in 1939. The Review was founded by John Crowe Ransom, critic and Professor of English at Kenyon College, who served as its first editor from 1939-1959. The Review has published early works by generations of important writers, including Robert Penn Warren, Ford Madox Ford, Robert Lowell, Delmore Schwartz, Flannery O'Connor, Boris Pasternak, Robert Lowell, Bertold Brecht, Peter Taylor, Dylan Thomas, Anthony Hecht, Maya Angelou, Rita Dove, Derek Walcott, Woody Allen, Louise Erdrich, William Empson, Mark Van Doren, Kenneth Burke, Delmore Schwartz, and Ha Jin. It was perhaps the best known and most influential literary magazine in the English-speaking world during the 1940s and 1950s. The magazine's reputation for uncovering new talent continues today. Its short stories have won more O'Henry Prizes than any other nonprofit journal—-most recently, two in 2004. A literary magazine is a periodical devoted to literature in a broad sense. ...
