Macmillan's Magazine was a monthly periodical published in London by Alexander Macmillan from November 1859 to October 1907. Economically priced at a shilling per issue, it was appealing to the general public; however, its readership was largely middle to upper class. [1] Formatted in two columns and unillustrated, each issue contained a serialized work of fiction and a poem. Its focus was not on literature, as was its rival Cornhill, but it focused primarily on philosophical essays, travel, history, politics, and critical reviews. Macmillan's Magazine was one of the leading periodicals which focused on science and was also one of the first periodicals to use authorial signature. [2] It included both well-known and obscure authors. Notable contributors included Matthew Arnold, Charles Dickens, Thomas Hardy, Rudyard Kipling, and John Stuart Mill. It also included works by several women authors including Dinah Mulock Craik, Charlotte Younge, Caroline Norton, Elizabeth Gaskell, and Christina Rossetti. [3]
The first editor was David Masson from 1859 to 1868. Masson was also a writer, scholar, and acquainted with many literary figures of the day. [4] George Grove became assistant editor in 1866, replacing Masson as editor in 1868. Editing until 1883, Grove was politically radical and a talented writer himself who was especially interested in music and engineering. [5] Other editors included John Morley, 1883-1885 and Mowbray Morris, 1885-1907.
