''Pearson's Magazine'' was an influential monthly periodical which first appeared in Britain in 1896. It specialised in speculative literature, political discussion, often of a socialist bent, and the arts. Its contributors included Upton Sinclair, George Bernard Shaw, Maxim Gorky, George Griffith, H. G. Wells, Dornford Yates and E. Phillips Oppenheim, many of whose short stories and novelettes first saw publication in ''Pearson's''. It is also notable as the first British periodical to publish a crossword puzzle, in February 1922. ==History== British publisher C. Arthur Pearson established and served as the editor of the monthly magazine from 1896 to 1899. He removed himself as editor as blindness set in but continued as its publisher. Succeeding editors included - * Percy W. Everett (1900–1911) * Philip O'Farrell (1912–1919) * John Reed Wade (January 1920–April 1939) * W.E. Johns (May 1939–November 1939). The magazine ceased publication in November 1939 after 527 issues. A like-for-like US version of Pearson's appeared in 1899. It eventually diverged into more US-oriented authors and separate editorial oversight, which included - * Arthur W. Little (to August 1916) * Frank Harris (September 1916 – 1923) * Alexander Marky (1922–April 1925). The United States version was published by J. J. Little until the title folded in April 1925 after a total run of 314 issues. 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「Pearson's Magazine」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
