Saturday Review
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- For other uses, see Saturday Review (disambiguation).
Saturday Review (1924–1986) was a weekly U.S.-based magazine. Originally known as The Saturday Review of Literature (until 1952), it was established by Henry Seidel Canby from the New York Post's weekly books supplement.
For much of its later existence it was edited and eventually, published by Norman Cousins. At its height, it was influential as the base of several well-read critics, and was often known under its initials as SR. Never hugely profitable, the magazine was able to survive the overall decline of the general-interest magazine category by several restructurings and attempts to reinvent itself but eventually succumbed to a declining market.
