From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Idler was an illustrated monthly magazine published in Great Britain from 1892 to 1911. It was founded by the author Robert Barr, who brought in the humorist Jerome K. Jerome as co-editor, and its contributors included many of the leading writers and illustrators of the time.
The Idler generally catered to the popular taste, printing light pieces and sensational fiction. The magazine published short stories, serialised novels, humour pieces, poetry, memoirs, travel writing, book and theatre reviews, interviews and cartoons. It also included a monthly feature called 'The Idlers' Club', in which a number of writers would offer their views on a particular topic.
Most of The Idler's contributors were popular and prolific writers of the time. Some of them, such as Rudyard Kipling, Mark Twain and Ernest Bramah, are still read today.
