Yellow Book
The Yellow Book, published from 1894 to 1897 by
Elkin Mathews and
John Lane, later by John Lane alone, and edited by the American
Henry Harland, was an important literary
periodical that lent its name to the "Yellow" 1890s. It was a leading journal of the
British 1890s; to some degree associated with
Aestheticism and
Decadence, the magazine contained a wide range of literary and artistic genres, poetry, short stories, essays, book illustrations, portraits, and reproductions of paintings.
Aubrey Beardsley was its first art editor, and he has been credited with the idea of the yellow cover, with its association with French fiction of the period. He obtained works by such artists as
Charles Conder,
William Rothenstein,
John Singer Sargent,
Walter Sickert and
Philip Wilson Steer. The literary content was no less distinguished; authors found within its pages during the three years of its existence include:
Max BeerbohmArnold Bennett"
Baron Corvo"
Ernest DowsonFrances FeatherstoneGeorge GissingHenry JamesSir Edmund GosseRichard Le GallienneCharlotte MewArthur SymonsH. G. WellsWilliam Butler Yeats
