The Savoy (periodical)

This article is about the Decadent magazine of the 1890s. For other uses, see Savoy (disambiguation).

The name Savoy was borrowed from the new London hotel and was intended to be suggestive of modernity and opulence.

The Savoy was a magazine of literature, art, and criticism published in eight numbers from January to December 1896 in London. It featured work by authors such as W. B. Yeats, Max Beerbohm, Joseph Conrad, Aubrey Beardsley and William Thomas Horton. Only eight issues of the magazine were published: two quarterly (January, April) and six monthly (July-December). The publisher was Leonard Smithers, a controversial friend of Oscar Wilde who was also known as a pornographer. Among other publications by Smithers were rare erotic works and unique items such as books bound in human skin.[1]
