LONDON REVIEW OF BOOKS
July 30th, 2015, Volume 37, Number 15
The London Review of Books is a British, fortnightly published magazine of literary, political and social commentary essays written by well-known authors, historians and academics. Typically the essays are long, well-researched, sometimes controversial, but always interesting. Exhibitions, film releases and book reviews are also covered, and each issue features a couple of poems. These back issues offer a great insight into the events and upheavals, political and social, global and local, that were occuring at the time.
