ABOUT US
The London Miscellany was first founded in 1825 as an irreverent
alternative to the established literary magazines of the day. Throughout
its various publishing guises, it has maintained that initial character
of the witty bystander, commenting with dry humour on the doings of his
fellows. The magazine was refounded in 1990 by Christopher Arkell, who
has published it ever since. Now reaching its third decade under his
guidance, the magazine is looking ever further afield for the poetry,
short stories, reviews and commentaries on current affairs which have
made literary magazines published in Britain the admiration of the world.
Recent contributors to the magazine include: Peter Porter, Ann
Stevenson, Irina Ratushinskaya, Boris Akunin, Viktor Pelevin, David Benn
and Adam Johnson (the poet who died so young and full of promise - "a
modern Keats").
