Lapham’s Quarterly will relaunch under the stewardship of Bard College and its Hannah Arendt Center for Politics and Humanities in 2025. The magazine will resume publication with “an editorial team that works closely with longtime contributors, supporters, and the broader literary community.” The magazine’s founder, Lewis Lapham endorsed the partnership before he died in July 2024.
“Lewis Lapham was a singular figure in American letters, and the Quarterly was a testament to his unyielding belief in the power of history to inform the present,” said publisher Paul W. Morris. “With its reputation for academic excellence and dedication to critical thinking, Bard College and the Hannah Arendt Center are the ideal custodians of this legacy.” Bard will also fulfill Lapham’s dream of distributing the magazine to incarcerated readers.
Additionally, Columbia University has acquired Lapham’s private archives for its Rare Book & Manuscript Library, and the Hawthornden Foundation will honor the magazine with a permanent tribute at the Quarterly’s Union Square West office.
