Title: The Quiver: An Illustrated Magazine for Sunday and General Readings
Editor: Various
Publisher: Cassel and Company: LTD London
The Quiver: An Illustrated Magazine for Sunday and General Readings is a monthly periodical published from 1821-1926. The editors of The Quiver intended for the journal to be, "A Witness for the Truth" in Christian homes. The Quiver was directed primarily towards a middle-class evangelical audience.
The Quiver portrays Christian morals and values through its many detailed illustrations, sermons, works of fiction, poetry, biblical study material, songs, and scriptural instruction. Although its declared purpose is for religious instruction, The Quiver entertains while promoting good moral values. The only well-known author that published in The Quiver was Mrs. Henry Woods.[1] Every issue has a "Short Arrow: notes of Christian life and work in all fields" and contains "The Quiver Bible Class" where discussion questions on the Bible are issued. The articles of the 1880s are more directed toward women.[2] The Quiver was usually edited by popular ministers and clergymen.[3] It supported many charitable societies and attempted to collect contributions from readers in order to provide funding for sick and poor children. Overall, The Quiver gives readers a glimpse of middle-class life while lending insight to Victorian Evangelical views of religion and fiction.
