Areté is an arts magazine, published three times a year, edited and founded in 1999 by the poet Craig Raine. The magazine aims to give detailed coverage of theatre, fiction, and poetry, while also serving as a platform for new writing in all genres. The purpose of any literary magazine is the correction of taste, the creation of mischief and entertainment—and the discovery of new writers.
