Bringing The Yale Review's Archives to Life

For the first time, The Yale Review is publishing weekly archival pieces on our website, culled from the magazine's trove of writing from the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Meghan O'Rourke, editor of The Yale Review, describes this new initiative and the nature of surfacing work from past decades.
