Contemporary Review

"The Contemporary Review" is a British monthly publication.

Foundation

It was founded in 1866 by Alexander Strahan and a group of intellectuals anxious to promote intelligent and independent opinion about the great issues of their day. They intended it to be the church-minded counterpart of the resolutely secular "Fortnightly Review", which was founded by Anthony Trollope. The first editor was Henry Alford.
