The European Review of Books is a quarterly magazine founded in 2021, created to provide a continental space for long-form criticism, essays, and intellectual exchange. Conceived as a genuinely European forum rather than a national publication, it brings together writers, scholars, and critics from across the continent to reflect on literature, politics, history, and ideas. The magazine prioritises essays and reviews that take time to develop arguments, often engaging with books as entry points into broader cultural and political conversations. Its editorial style is reflective and analytical, favouring depth, curiosity, and disagreement over immediacy or consensus. Published in English and distributed across Europe, the European Review of Books operates independently, sustained by subscriptions, sales, and reader support, without reliance on advertising or institutional ownership. This model supports its ambition to remain intellectually autonomous and editorially adventurous. Though still young, the magazine has quickly positioned itself as a meeting place for European thought, appealing to readers who value rigorous argument, literary quality, and a transnational perspective on contemporary issues.
