''Transatlantic Review'' was a literary journal founded and edited by Joseph F. McCrindle in 1959, and published at first in Rome, then London and New York. McCrindle revived the title of the original Paris ''Transatlantic Review'' founded by Ford Madox Ford in 1924. ==History== McCrindle's first intention was to publish short stories and poetry that he had not been able to place as a literary agent. He was inspired in part by the periodical ''Botteghe Oscure'', which was based in Rome and published by Marguerite Caetani. Eugene Walter provided a connection between the two; after helping launch ''The Paris Review'', he edited Caetani's magazine for a while and was a contributing editor to ''Transatlantic Review'' from the third issue until the last. George Garrett was one of a group of initially credited editors, including William Goldman, and by issue 3 became the poetry editor, continuing alongside B. S. Johnson up until issue 39. Another significant contributing editor was the playwright, poet and actor Heathcote Williams. In the long run, ''TR'', as it was often called, brought together a mixture of essays, interviews, short stories and poetry in a publication that ran for 60 issues between 1959 and 1977. Seven O. Henry Award-winning stories came from its pages. McCrindle's goal was to strike a balance between leading writers and new, sometimes unpublished, ones, and, as the title implies, between American and British writers. B.S. Johnson was eventually the sole poetry editor and assembled the feature, "New Transatlantic Poetry". Prize-winners included Paul Ableman, Diana Athill, Gavin Ewart, Giles Gordon, D. M. Thomas, Jerry Stahl, Jay Jeff Jones and Trevor Hoyle. Issue 52 (Autumn 1975), featured ''An Anthology of New American Poetry'', compiled by Gerard Malanga. It included work by Charles Bukowski, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, Allen Ginsberg, Louis Zukofsky, George Oppen, Jonathan Williams, Gary Snyder, Michael McClure, Harold Norse and Lou Reed. After a decade, McCrindle selected the magazine's best for his ''Stories from the Transatlantic Review'' (Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1970; Penguin, 1974), an anthology that included Paul Bowles, Jerome Charyn, Bruce Jay Friedman, Penelope Gilliatt, William Goldman and Joyce Carol Oates. McCrindle collected the interviews in ''Behind the Scenes: Theater and Film Interviews from the Transatlantic Review'' (Holt, Rinehart and Winston, 1971). The final issue was published June 1977. An announcement appeared in the penultimate issue of the magazine saying that the title would continue as an annual review but this idea was not pursued. After he folded the magazine, McCrindle established the Henfield Foundation (later called the Joseph F. McCrindle Foundation) and continued to support new writing talent with awards and grants. He died July 11, 2008 at his home in New York City. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Transatlantic Review (1959–77)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
