We understand from the passage that Partisan Review ----.

For more than 40 years the radical thinker William
Philips edited Partisan Review, a magazine of
small circulation and little money but with a great
deal of influence. Writers and commentators
whose words later commanded audiences of
millions first saw their names in print in a
publication that might sell 15,000 copies if things
were going well. Mary McCarthy, Bernard
Malomud and Saul Bellow were apprentice
contributors. Leading European writers such as
Jean Paul Sartre and Albert Camus were
introduced to American readers through the
Review. The magazine was defending T. S. Eliot,
Franz Kafka and James Joyce long before their
acceptance as central to modern culture.
