Description
The years from 1880 to 1950 were the golden age of storytelling. It was an age that coincided with the glory of the popular monthly illustrated magazine, typified by The Strand, which set the standard for popular fiction with the Sherlock Holmes stories by Arthur Conan Doyle. Rivals and imitators such as Pearson's Magazine, The Windsor, The Royal, Pall Mail, The Idler and many more soon followed. This is the first reference guide to consider these magazines in detail, providing coverage of 144 titles, charting their contribution to and influence upon popular literature.
