Virtual Alumni College - Revisiting The Carleton Miscellany: An Illustrated History with Professor Michael Kowalewski
The Carleton Miscellany was a nationally acclaimed literary quarterly published at Carleton from 1960 to 1980. Founded by poet and Carleton English professor Reed Whittemore, it was modeled on a previous “little magazine” published at Carleton entitled Furioso. Known for its mischievous sense of humor, Gordon Lish, the former fiction editor of Esquire, once called the Miscellany “one of the best literary magazines in the country.” It featured the work of at least a dozen Pulitzer Prize-winning authors as well as that of many Carleton faculty. The magazine’s trademark was a whimsical figure of a chimney-sweep, which has become the mascot of the Carleton English Department.
