Boys' Own
''Boys' Own'' or ''Boy's Own'' or ''Boys Own'', is the title of a varying series of similarly titled magazines, story papers, and newsletters published at various times and by various publishers, in the UK and the U.S., from the mid-19th century to the mid-20th century, for pre-teen and teenage boys.
==History==
In 1828 in London, and in 1829 in Boston, an encyclopedia for boys by William Clarke was published, titled ''The Boy's Own Book: A Complete Encyclopedia of all the Diversions, Athletic, Scientific, and Recreative, of Boyhood and Youth''.〔Clarke, William. (''The Boy's Own Book: A Complete Encyclopedia of all the Diversions, Athletic, Scientific, and Recreative, of Boyhood and Youth''. Fourth Edition. ) Vizetelly, Branston and Co., 1829.〕 According to sports historian Robert William Henderson, "It was a tremendous contrast to the juvenile books of the period, which emphasized piety, morals and instruction of mind and soul; it must have been received with whoops of delight by the youngsters of both countries."〔Henderson, Robert William. (''Ball, Bat, and Bishop: The Origin of Ball Games''. ) University of Illinois Press, 2001. p. 153.〕 The encyclopedia was frequently updated and reprinted through the end of the century.
Beginning with Samuel Beeton's ''Boy's Own Magazine'', published from 1855 to 1890, the first gender-specific boys' magazines emerged, with the aim of both entertaining and building character.〔(''Boy's Own Magazine'' )〕 The fun and educational ''Boys' Own''–type magazines, created by various publishers from 1855 through 1920, helped shape ideas of masculinity in the youth of that period.〔
Titles of some of the other varying magazine franchises called "Boys Own", which total more than 15 different publications, included ''Boys' Own Journal'', ''Boys' Own Library'', ''Boy's Own Paper'', ''The Boys' Own'', ''Boys' Own Times and News of the World'', etc.〔(''Boys Own'' ). Alphabetical listing of various serials under that title – see ''The Boys' Own'' through ''Boys' Own Times and News of the World''.〕 The most long-lived of the magazines was ''Boy's Own Paper'', which was published from 1879 through 1967, becoming a British institution. The phrase "real ''Boys Own'' stuff" is still used in Britain to describe exciting feats of derring-do.
