Harvard Review is a literary journal published by Houghton Library at Harvard University.

History

In 1986 Stratis Haviaras, curator of the Woodberry Poetry Room at Harvard University, founded a quarterly periodical called Erato, the purpose of which was to create a new forum for discussion of current literary matters and events. The first issue featured a poem by Seamus Heaney, a short piece on Louis Simpson, a news item from Harvard University Press, and three pages of book reviews. Within three years the book review section of Erato had grown to more than 30 pages and the publication was renamed Harvard Book Review. In 1992 Haviaras relaunched the publication as Harvard Review, a perfect-bound journal of over 200 pages, published semi-annually out of the Harvard College Library. The purpose of the new journal was to foster the work of new writers, provide a forum for criticism of new literary works, and present a selection of the best new poetry and short fiction being written. In 2000 Haviaras retired from Harvard University and Christina Thompson (formerly the editor of the Australian journal Meanjin) was appointed as editor.
