Argosy (UK magazine)
<templatestyles src="Module:Hatnote/styles.css"></templatestyles>
Argosy magazine (also known as The Argosy) was the title of three magazines published in the United Kingdom, one in the late 19th century, another in the middle of the 20th century, and the other, very briefly, in the early 21st century.
The original Argosy was founded by Alexander Strahan in 1865,[1] and later owned and edited by Ellen Wood. It ran until 1901.
A later British Argosy was a short story magazine in paperback size focusing on reprints, and was published from 1926 to 1974.[2] It published stories and serials by leading authors, plus page-fillers of ostensibly amusing quotations, excerpts and cartoons. Joan Aiken worked as Features Editor on the magazine from 1955 to 1960.[3] Lord Dunsany, Ray Bradbury[4] H. E. Bates, Victor Canning, C. S. Forester, Pamela Hansford Johnson and Gerald Bullett were among the writers whose material appeared in Argosy.[5]
A third United Kingdom-based[6] magazine of short stories titled Argosy published two volumes, one dated December 2013 and the other February 2014.[2]
