 | | The Partisan Review's intention was to ally anti-Stalinist politics with modernism - many of whose exponents, such as Eliot, were now far from the left - while fostering tradition (the first issue included a piece by Edmund Wilson on Flaubert). |
 | | As Phillips put it, a distinct element in the Partisan Review was "its literary and cultural criticism, with an emphasis, particularly in the 1940s, on the relation of social questions to matters of text". |
 | | The Partisan Review became vital again in the 1960s, when it published such names as Norman Mailer and Susan Sontag, with her essay, Notes On Camp. |
