the Dublin Review

About the magazine

The Dublin Review is a quarterly magazine of essays, criticism, fiction and reportage. Founded and edited by Brendan Barrington, it is published in book format – printed on 100gsm Munken Cream stock and thread-sewn – to a design by David Smith (Atelier, Dublin). The Dublin Review gratefully acknowledges the financial assistance of The Arts Council of Ireland.

‘On the evidence of its early issues, the particular distinction of this new Review is to combine the critically serious with the creatively readable... It is a remarkable achievement that its first 600 pages contain very few dull ones... This is a very promising start indeed.’ Times Literary Supplement

‘Now in its sixth year, the reasons for this journal's rise to a pre-eminent position in the field of Irish periodicals are many and relate to both packaging and content... The journal has become synonymous with the joyous free form that is the essay’ Irish Times

‘The Dublin Review is the nearest thing we Irish have got to the untouchable New Yorker’ Sunday Tribune

‘The Dublin Review... has established itself as an Irish institution’ Guardian
