The Eugene O'Neill Review first appeared in the Spring of 1989 as a transformation of The Eugene O'Neill Newsletter. "Creative experimentation [had] ensured the new publication a sophisticated appearance and packaging appropriate to its loftier name, without...sacrificing any of the variety of materials and styles that readers of the Newsletter approved and had come to expect."
