ownership[edit]

What was the pre-1970 ownership? How was the publication captured so that it was no longer available to students for their "juvenilia"? Diomedea Exulans (talk) 19:02, 17 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The magazine was originally a Cambridge University magazine in the late 19th century, then went defunct in I think the '30s (I can't find an exact date for this – having been looking in the Cambridge library catalogue where they mention the magazine was 'banned' for a year or so in the twenties due to a racy poem. Can't get full details as am not a library member). So in 1979 Bill Buford 'relaunched' the brand while he was at Cambridge – effectively using the name of an extinct Cambridge university magazine for a new business enterprise: http://www.theguardian.com/books/2007/dec/30/culture.features. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lneima (talk • contribs) 13:06, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

define "recent"[edit]

How can Chatwin be a "recent contributor" when he has been deceased for over two decades? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.126.224.97 (talk) 05:24, 17 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

He's definitely not a recent contributor! This page is badly outdated. I will update with some more recent contributors. A list of contributors from each issue can be found on the issues page at: Granta.com/issues Lneima (talk) 12:58, 18 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Update[edit]

Hey all. I'm online editor here at Granta and just realised how badly out of date this is. Good points below on Bruce Chatwin and ownership pre-Buford. Hope the comments help clarify.

Key points of change:

The magazine's current editor is Sigrid Rausing, also the publisher, as of issue 125: After the War, Autumn 2013^[1])</ref>.

Circulation: suggest referring to the current mediapack: ^[2]

Granta also publishes poetry, which has somehow been missed out here.

It might be worth updating recent contributors with publications of the Booker prize-winning authors Eleanor Catton and Han Kang (for the Booker International). Both in the magazine as well as by associated book-publisher imprint (Han Kang with Portobello, Catton with Granta Books). I can also provide a longer list of recent notable authors.

For sources in the History section – we have a stack of old copies of the original 'The Granta' in the office, so I could cite from some of those mastheads if necessary. Should all citations be online? I wonder if a library catalogue or Google-Books / Jstor-equivalent might have some pdfs of the mastheads to link on to?
