About the Magazine

Founded in 1819 | United States

At The Yale Review, we believe in the power of connecting great minds across disciplines, backgrounds, and generations. As a renowned journal of literature and ideas, TYR has been privileged to publish both established names and rising literary talent, including Virginia Woolf, Robert Lowell, Thomas Mann, Bayard Rustin, Louise Glück, Adrienne Rich, José Ortega y Gassett, Joyce Carol Oates, James Merrill, Cathy Park Hong, Sheila Heti, and Namwali Serpell. Today, TYR continues to evolve under our new editor Meghan O’Rourke, an acclaimed poet, memoirist, and critic. O’Rourke ushered TYR into its third century of publication by relaunching the magazine in May 2021 as a print and digital publication, with a new website that features original content as well as gems from TYR's incomparable archive. In late 2020, TYR also launched a new event series, TYR Talks, which has brought hundreds of new readers to the magazine. In the past year, we have seen our readership triple, and we look forward to growing our community even further as our presence expands online. The new TYR remains committed to a tradition of editorial excellence and painstaking curation, a site where readers can discover new literature by the best writers of our era alongside engaged, passionate criticism that is beautifully written and powerfully thought. With our new membership program, we hope to invite our readers into an inclusive community of people who care deeply about the written word.
