| Meanjin was founded in Brisbane by Clem Christesen in 1940. It moved to Melbourne in 1945 at the invitation of the University of Melbourne. Known primarily as a literary magazine, Christesen ensured that Meanjin reflected the breadth of contemporary thinking, be it on literature, other art forms, or the broader issues of the times. During Christesen's 34-year editorship he published the leading figures in Australian letters and introduced Australian audiences to many international writers. This breadth has characterised Meanjin for more than 70 years, continuing under its eight subsequent editors. At the beginning of 2008 Meanjin became an imprint of Melbourne University Publishing.
