What was the pre-1970 ownership? How was the publication captured so that it was no longer available to students for their "juvenilia"? Diomedea Exulans (talk) 19:02, 17 January 2010 (UTC)
The magazine was originally a Cambridge University magazine in the late 19th century, then went defunct in I think the '30s (I can't find an exact date for this – having been looking in the Cambridge library catalogue where they mention the magazine was 'banned' for a year or so in the twenties due to a racy poem. Can't get full details as am not a library member). So in 1979 Bill Buford 'relaunched' the brand while he was at Cambridge – effectively using the name of an extinct Cambridge university magazine for a new business enterprise: http://www.theguardian.com/books/2007/dec/30/culture.features. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lneima (talk • contribs) 13:06, 18 May 2016 (UTC)
