LRB

LRB is an acronym that commonly refers to the London Review of Books. The London Review of Books is a British weekly literary magazine founded in London in 1979. It publishes reviews of contemporary and classic literature, as well as essays, poetry, and interviews. The publication is known for its long-form criticism and rigorous prose, and it has a global readership. Through its in-depth articles, the LRB has become a leading forum for literary and cultural discussion, frequently featuring writings by prominent writers, scholars, and translators.

Beyond the London Review of Books, LRB can denote other organizations, terms, or project-specific identifiers in different fields and regions. Because acronyms are context-dependent, the intended meaning of LRB varies with the subject matter and locality. In practice, identifying the correct expansion usually relies on surrounding information such as the field of discussion, geographic reference, or the entity being described. If a document uses LRB and the meaning is unclear, additional context or a disambiguation is typically necessary to determine which specific entity or concept is being referenced.
