Shearsman Magazine

Shearsman magazine was founded in 1981 and ran for two years before being folded into the London-based magazine Ninth Decade (later Tenth Decade), together with Oasis and Atlantic Review. The second series of Shearsman began in 1991, in a pamphlet format, and ran roughly quarterly until early 2005, when the format changed again to a half-yearly paperback book—the current issue is shown on the right of your screen. Further details of this history can be found by clicking on "About" in the ribbon menu at the top of this page. Issues 50–66 are also available on this site as PDF downloads, and are replicas of the print versions of the magazine. With effect from issue 63/64, only a sample of the contents of each issue—now much larger, with a length of around 100 pages—has been made available online, usually within six months of print publication. Issues appear in print in April and October of each year. The intention is always to be one or two (double) issues in arrears with the PDF sampler versions.
