Free · In‑App Purchases
Literary Review is Britain’s leading independent magazine for books. Published monthly, each issue features reviews of 50 or more of the latest releases, spanning fiction, biography, literary criticism, history, politics, cooking and crime.
The magazine surveys the wider cultural landscape too, publishing film and exhibition reviews, essays and features. With an international roster of contributors ranging from prize-winning authors and scholars to pundits and public figures, Literary Review offers an unparalleled range of voices, styles and perspectives.
The Literary Review app offers you access to the latest issue as soon as it is published, as well as to the complete archive dating back to 1979. For just £3.99 a month or £35.99 a year, you will receive a digital copy of each new issue every month and full access to the archive of over 500 issues, which is fully searchable. Non-subscribers can see a preview of each issue.
You can subscribe within the application for full access. During your subscription, you can sync back issues to your device. These will remain in place if your subscription expires, unless your device removes them (for example when running low on disk space). Re-downloading issues requires a current subscription. Subscribers will receive new issues automatically. Please note that issues are not sold individually.
