About the South Carolina Review

Do any of these names sound familiar?
 

They do if you've been reading The South Carolina Review for the past 40 years. Since 1968, The South Carolina Review has published fiction, poetry, interviews, unpublished letters and manuscripts, essays, and reviews from well-known and aspiring scholars and writers. That's not all. The South Carolina Review has also published special issues, such as the Virginia Woolf International, numerous fictions compilations, and issues focusing on the works of Robert Frost, Mary Gordon, Walker Percy, and James Dickey. The latest special issue, Ireland in the Arts and Humanities was published in the fall of 1999 as a result of The Tenth Annual Meeting of the Southern Regional American Conference for Irish Studies, held at Clemson University and featuring poet Rita Ann Higgins.

For an issue celebrating The South Carolina Review’s tenth year at Clemson, published in the fall of 1983, Richard J. Calhoun, one of the founding editors and currently Editor Emeritus, characterized the review as a little and noncommercial magazine unfettered in comparison to larger literary publications. To quote Dr. Calhoun, "We publish essays on contemporary literature and creative works by American writers; but we are nowhere limited to these interests....When we want to declare a special issue, we can. The little magazine may never discover a Pound, an Eliot or a Hemingway; but...we have published early writers who have gone on to the larger magazines and yet not quite forgotten us. As long as we get good manuscripts from good young writers, we shall continue to play this role."

The South Carolina Review has grown steadily in all aspects since it was first published at Furman University in 1968 and subsequently moved to Clemson University in 1973. Its continued focus begins with Southern and American Literature while widening to a national and international audience and with the hope to remain in publication for many more years under the aegis of Clemson's emerging digital press.
