The Hungarian Quarterly goes back to 1936. It ceased publication during the closing stage of the Second World War, then the Socialist regime, wishing to improve its image after the 1956 Revolution, revived it in 1960 as
The New Hungarian Quarterly. The journal reverted to its original name in 1993 after Hungary's return to democracy. Since then
The Hungarian Quarterly has been politically neutral seeking to inform and provoke on a wide range of subjects.
