The Critic Magazine

27 April 2023

In the May issue of The Critic magazine Sebastian Milbank discovers that unlike in English-speaking countries, Europe’s younger voters are turning to right-wing parties and asks if the kids are alt-right? Michael Lind recalls the future as portrayed by the 1960s series The Jetsons, and finds out what went wrong. Stephen Daisley spots that the turmoil in the SNP has scarcely dented support in Scotland for independence, and Paul Stephenson explains why Putin imagines Russia is the inheritor of Byzantine Christendom. Also, Norman Lebrecht discovers that Apple Classical is music to his ears, Sarah Ditum is taken aback by Ice Spice, Boris Starling charts the waning interest in the FA Cup, Nick Timothy worries about the cost and consequences of mounting sports injuries for the future of rugby, Lisa Hilton admires Vittore Carpaccio, and Charles Saumarez-Smith salutes the legacy of the architectural critic, Gavin Stamp.
