A set of South African quarterly magazine, New Classic from 1975 to 1978. Edited by Sidney Sepamla, the journal showcased Black South African writers and was the successor to the Classic Magazine. Sepamla was 'the first black person to edit and manage a literary magazine in South Africa.' No 1 has some slight fraying to the spine and previous owner's name on title page. Stain to front cover of No 5.
'The essays in New Classic did not focus on the knowns...Instead they examined questions of literature and communication, the writer's freedom, the position of black writers in South Africa, the nature and use of oral literature...' (South African Literary Magazines 1956-1978). The magazine featured writers such as Bessie Head, Serote, Mtshali, Richard Rive and Nadine Gordimer.
