''The Cornhill Magazine'' (1860–1975) was a Victorian magazine and literary journal named after Cornhill in London.〔Laurel Brake and Marysa Demoor, ''Dictionary of nineteenth-century journalism in Great Britain and Ireland''. Gent: Academia Press; London: British Library, 2009. ISBN 071235039X (p. 145).〕 ==History and profile== ''Cornhill'' was founded by George Murray Smith in 1859,〔 the first issue carrying the cover date of January 1860. It continued until 1975. It was a literary journal with a selection of articles on diverse subjects and serialisations of new novels. Smith hoped to gain some of the same readership enjoyed by ''All the Year Round'', a similar magazine owned by Charles Dickens, and he employed as editor William Thackeray,〔 Dickens' great literary rival at the time. The magazine was phenomenally successful, selling many more issues than anyone had thought likely, but within a few years circulation dropped rapidly as it failed to keep pace with changes in popular taste. It also gained a reputation for rather safe, inoffensive content in the late Victorian era.〔 A mark of the high regard in which it was held was its publication of ''Leaves from the Journal of our Life in the Highlands'' by Queen Victoria. The stories were often illustrated and it contained works from some of the foremost artists of the time including: George du Maurier, Edwin Landseer, Frederic Leighton, and John Everett Millais. Some of its subsequent editors included G. H. Lewes, Leslie Stephen, Ronald Gorell Barnes, James Payn, Peter Quennell and Leonard Huxley. Contributors to ''The Cornhill'' in the 1930s and 1940s included Elizabeth Bowen, Rose Macaulay, Mary Webb, D. K. Broster, and Nugent Barker.〔Jack Adrian, "Introduction" to ''The Ash-Tree Press Annual Macabre 2003: Ghosts at 'The Cornhill' 1931–1939'' Ash-Tree Press, 2003, ISBN 978-1-55310-060-7.〕 From 1917 the magazine was published by John Murray of Albermarle Street, London.〔John Murray archive, now in Scotland, http://digital.nls.uk/jma/topics/publishing/cornhill.html〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cornhill Magazine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
