The Cambridge Humanities Review — Issue 12
The Cambridge Humanities Review was established in 2012 as an independent journal of literary essays and reviews, written by academics, students, and a range of other writers. It covers the latest in literature, art, architecture, critical writing, and academic monographs, as well as including photo-essays and other kinds of essayistic work.
It aims to revive the spirit of the Cambridge Review, a fiercely individual journal with a long and proud history lasting from 1879 to 1998, which included writing by figures as diverse as Bertrand Russell, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Michael Oakeshott, Clive James, Simon Schama, and John Rawls. Contributors to the new Cambridge Humanities Review have so far included Rowan Williams, David Runciman, Sarah Symmons, Paul Cartledge, Judith Turner, and Alastair Campbell, as well as a regular circle of young, talented and upcoming writers.
As a tribute to its roots and history, the CHR (while independent) carries the motto of the University of Cambridge, hinc lucem et pocula sacra ('from here we draw light and sacred draughts').
