Now (1940–1947 magazine)
1940s political and literary periodical
NOW was a British political and literary periodical founded in 1940 by George Woodcock,[1][2] its first editor, from 1940 to 1941, and by Freedom Press from 1943 to 1947.[3]
In the words of its founder, it was established as a review "for publishing literary matter and also as a forum for controversial writing which could not readily find publications under wartime conditions", and included works by "Anarchists, Stalinists, Trotskyists, pacifists, and New Statesman moderates".[4]
In 1945 Now published Marie-Louise Berneri's "Sexuality and Freedom", one of the first discussions of the ideas of Wilhelm Reich in Britain.[5]
