The Oxford Magazine was established in 1883 and published weekly during Oxford University terms.[1] Contributors included: J. R. R. Tolkien,[2] whose character Tom Bombadil, who later featured in The Lord of the Rings, first appeared in the magazine around 1933. A joint poem by C. S. Lewis and Owen Barfield called "Abecedarium Philosophicum" was published on 30 November 1933.[3] Dorothy Sayers published two of her poems, Hymn in Contemplation of Sudden Death and Epitaph for a Young Musician, in the magazine.[4] W. H. Auden published his early poem, The Sunken Lane, in Oxford Magazine while he was an undergraduate at Oxford University.[5] The magazine has also published poets such as H. W. Garrod, Olivia McCannon,[6] Jude Cowan Montague,[7] Michael Gessner,[8] Kieron Winn, John Wain, Elizabeth Jennings, and others.[citation needed]
It now functions "as a commentator on university affairs",[9] that is, an independent forum where members of Congregation can debate academic policy. While it is distributed along with the Oxford University Gazette, it sometimes carries articles critical of the University's leadership.[10]
