Granta
''Granta'' is a literary magazine and publisher in the United Kingdom whose mission centres on its "belief in the power and urgency of the story, both in fiction and non-fiction, and the story’s supreme ability to describe, illuminate and make real."〔(About Granta Magazine. )〕 In 2007, ''The Observer'' stated: "In its blend of memoirs and photojournalism, and in its championing of contemporary realist fiction, ''Granta'' has its face pressed firmly against the window, determined to witness the world."〔(Simon Garfield, "From student rag to literary riches" ), ''The Observer'', 30 December 2007.〕
==History==
''Granta'' was founded in 1889〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.everywritersresource.com/topliterarymagazines.html )〕 by students at Cambridge University as ''The Granta'', edited by R. C. Lehmann (who later became a major contributor to ''Punch''). It was started as a periodical featuring student politics, badinage and literary efforts. The name, a medieval form of what is today called the River Cam, the river that runs through the town, now belongs to two of that river's tributaries. An early editor of the magazine was R. P. Keigwin, the English cricketer and Danish scholar; in 1912-13 the Editor was the poet, writer and reviewer Edward Shanks.
In this form the magazine had a long and distinguished history. The magazine published juvenilia of several writers who later became well known, including: Geoffrey Gorer, William Empson,〔John Haffenden, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography〕 Michael Frayn, Ted Hughes, A. A. Milne 〔J. P. C. Roach, 'The University of Cambridge: The modern university (1882-1939)', A History of the County of Cambridge and the Isle of Ely: Volume 3: The City and University of Cambridge (1959), pp. 266-306.
