Edinburgh Review 126
Passing Place

The current issue, Passing Place includes short stories by James Kelman and Catherine Czerkawska, a photographic journey in the Highlands by Robin Gillanders, an essay by Tom Leonard and an interview with 2008 T.S. Eliot Prize winner, poet Jen Hadfield.

Essayist and critic William Hazlitt once commented: 'To be an Edinburgh Reviewer is, I suspect, the highest rank in modern literary society.' Numbered among our nineteenth-century contributors were Sir Walter Scott, Thomas Carlyle and William Ewart Gladstone; more recently, James Kelman, Janice Galloway, A.L. Kennedy, Kei Miller, Tom Leonard, Meaghan Delahunt and Tracey Emin have all contributed to the journal.

The current editor, Brian McCabe, continues the practice of presenting work by established and emergent writers. Under his editorship which began in 2006 while he was Writer-in-Residence at Edinburgh University, each issue offers a view into a particular culture or region.

Born in 1802 in the Buccleuch Place lodgings of its founding editor, Francis Jeffrey, theReview swiftly transformed the landscape of literary criticism.
