Nimbus (literary magazine)
''Nimbus'', "A Magazine of Literature, the Arts, and New Ideas", was a literary magazine co-founded in London in 1951 by Martin Green〔(David Wright, Obituary, The Independent )〕 and Tristram Hull.
== History ==
''Nimbus'', a British "little magazine" of the 1950s, represents part of a rich history of literary magazines that reflect not only the literary, but also the social and political history of England. ''Nimbus'' continued as well a tradition of modernism cultivated since the First World War, especially by writers of the Bloomsbury Group and the Auden generation. ''Nimbus'' was among such important little magazines as ''Encounter'', ''London Magazine'', and ''Poetry'' edited by such distinguished writers as T. S. Eliot, John Lehmann and Stephen Spender, who helped set a tone of excellence in the publication of little magazines and were instrumental in changing the mood and direction of modern British literature.
''Nimbus: A Magazine of Literature, the Arts, and New Ideas'' began publication in December 1951 as a quarterly magazine of new writing. Tristram Hull, son of R. F. C. Hull, poet and translator of the Collected Works of C.G. Jung, acted as editor for the magazine's four volumes of thirteen issues. Hull was later joined by co-editors Ivo Jarosy, 1953-1954, and David Wright, 1955-1956. During this period Wright published 19 poems by Patrick Kavanagh, sent to him by Patrick Swift, which proved to be the turning point in Kavanagh's career.〔"Publication there was to prove a turning point…The publication of his next volume of verse, ''Come Dance with Kitty Stobling'', was to be directly linked to the mini-collection in ''Nimbus'', and his ''Collected Poems'' (1964)- ''Patrick Kavanagh: A Biography'', by Antoinette Quinn, Gill & Macmillan Ltd, 2001, p: 359 (ISBN 071712651X / 0-7171-2651-X )〕 Due to editorial differences between Wright and Hull, Christopher Logue, in 1957, became co-editor with Hull and the name of the magazine was changed to ''Nimbus: New English Review''.
The magazine, published by John Trafford at the Halcyon Press, grew in size, stature and reputation from a fifteen page experiment into a sixty page provocative venue for new British, Commonwealth and Continental writing. ''Nimbus'' editors rejected strict identification with any one contemporary British literary school, yet often found themselves involved in their debates and controversies. ''Nimbus'' attempted to distance itself from such recognized "Movement" poets as Kingsley Amis. The Movement poets were themselves reacting against the earlier romantic "New Apocalypse" writers such as George Barker, Anthony Thwaite, G. S. Fraser and Henry Treece. The Movement writers were, in turn, considered by the "Maverick" poets to be conservative, formalist and neoclassical.〔(Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center )〕
