What it does
The London Review of Books publishes English-language reviews and essays, with a print paper and additional online material. Books provide a starting point for discussions of history, literature and public affairs.
The paper's issue contents are a useful route into a manageable set of essays. Readers can choose a book they know or follow a subject into related reviews, rather than treating the site as a book-shopping list. The publisher states that the paper appears twice a month. Subject browsing and contributor search offer more focused starting points than the latest issue alone.
Best for
- Readers who enjoy extended literary and historical criticism
