Established writers such as Paul Bourget and Anatole France contributed to the magazine from its early days. The magazine's influence grew until, during the between-war period, it became the leading literary journal, occupying a unique role in French culture. The first published works by André Malraux and Jean-Paul Sartre were in the pages of the Revue.

After liberation, the magazine was forbidden for collaborationism, but reopened in 1953. The Revue was a monthly for many years, but is currently a quarterly.
