Each issue addresses a topic of current interest and concern—war, religion, money, medicine, nature, crime—by bringing up to the microphone of the present the advice and counsel of the past.
Our collections are sets of timeless back issues curated around a single theme, whether that’s Lewis Lapham’s essential back issues; all our back issues featuring contributors James Baldwin, Virginia Woolf, Joseph Conrad, and others; or something a little bit more like Light Reading.
Back issues of Lapham’s Quarterly are an essential addition to any library. Readers are sharing photos of the magazine in their home libraries and in other interesting places on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter.
We want to see your bookshelves. Join by sharing photos of your Lapham’s library using the hashtag #LQLibrary.
