History

(Also known as Lit or Yale 's Old Lady in Brown) The Yale Literary Magazine was founded in 1836 and is published twice per academic year. For more than 170 years they published poetry, fiction, literary criticism and illustrations by students of Yale University. The magazine is proud of its tradition and at the same time open to new literary trends. In the 80s it came to the magazine to legal battles because Andrei Navrozov, a former student of the University upon completion of his studies, a journal of the same name published, which was no longer connected to the University. This magazine noticed by their predominantly Russian themes, instead of texts published by Yale students those of Joseph Brodsky and Boris Pasternak, but also by Ezra Pound and William F. Buckley. Eventually, however, the rights to the name of Lit went back over to the student body of the University.

Today, the Journal continues its time-honored tradition and reflects the rich literary and artistic activity of the university campus resist. Each semester, far more manuscripts be submitted, when the magazine published, thereby enabling a high level of quality can be maintained by strict selection.
