Editing New Left Review (section)

=== Establishment ===
''New Left Review'' was established in January 1960 when ''The New Reasoner'' and ''Universities and Left Review'' merged their Boards.<ref name=history>{{cite web |title=A Brief History Of New Left Review 1960–2010 |url=https://newleftreview.org/pages/history |website=New Left Review |access-date=15 December 2023}}</ref> The first [[editor-in-chief]] of the merged publication was [[Stuart Hall (cultural theorist)|Stuart Hall]].<ref name=history /> The early ''New Left Review'' style, featuring illustrations on the cover and in the interior layout, was more irreverent and free-flowing than the publication's later issues, which tended to be more sombre and academic.<ref name=Birchall /> Hall was succeeded as editor in 1962 by [[Perry Anderson]].<ref name=history />

In 1993, nineteen of the members of the editorial committee resigned, citing a loss of control over content by the Editorial Board/Committee in favour of a Shareholders' Trust, which they argued was undemocratic. The Trust—composed of [[Perry Anderson]], his brother [[Benedict Anderson]], and [[Ronald Fraser (historian)|Ronald Fraser]]—said that a change was necessary for the financial sustainability of ''New Left Review''.<ref>{{cite web |website=www.wengewang.org |url=http://www.wengewang.org/read.php?tid=17413 |title=Resignations from the Editorial Board of New Left Review(1993)&#124;万象视野 - 中国文革研究网 |access-date=11 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140223221743/http://www.wengewang.org/read.php?tid=17413 |archive-date=23 February 2014 |url-status=dead}}</ref> The journal was relaunched in 2000, and Perry Anderson returned as editor until 2003.<ref name=history />
