Magazines, magazines everywhere – Read with pleasure!
Erbauliche Monaths Unterredungen (Edifying Monthly Discussions); these three German words are the title of the first magazine ever appeared in the world. Released from 1663 to 1668, the publication contained philosophical & theological articles that aim to enlighten the intellectual society of that time. Thanks to this innovative formula, soon after many other similar proto-magazines appeared throughout the whole of Europe: Le Mercure Galant in France, Ladie’s Mercury & The Tatler in England, and many other periodicals.
Anyway, the very first publication that used the term magazine has been the 1731 Gentleman’s Magazine.
Created by the British publisher Edward Cave; it covered a hugely large array of subjects that ranged from frivolous fashion to dissertations on Latin poetry. Flourishing in a lot of countries; during its 191 years (the publication ended in 1922) many authors covered all human knowledge.
But despite their appearance; the golden age of magazines is the 20th century when the American William Randolph Hearst built an actual empire starting with Good Housekeeping, National Geographic, and Harper’s Bazaar.
