Background

The name of this new magazine, Horizon, was also the name of a groundbreaking literary review edited by Cyril Connolly back in the 1940s. I've always been fascinated by the history of literary reviews, the 'little' magazines; such ephemeral things - yet charged with astonishing intensity and potential to create change. As we move deeper into the uncharted territories of the internet, it will be interesting to see how online journals change and progress, how they adapt to their new surroundings.
