Like all artistic and literary movements this one had, in the shape of various periodicals, its manifestoes. In fact, it was a period particularly rich in this kind of fruit. In _The Hobby Horse_ the voices of the new spirit were mingled for the first time with those of the past. There were, among other magazines, _The Rose Leaf_, _The Chameleon_, _The Spirit Lamp_, _The Pageant_, _The Evergreen_, _The Parade_, _The Quarto_, _The Dome_, _The Chord_, while among the popular papers _The Idler_, _To-Day_, and _Pick-me-Up_ produced the work of men like Edgar Wilson and S. H. Sime; and, further, _The Butterfly_, _The Poster_, and _The Studio_ must be carefully studied for the tendencies of the time. But the two principal organs of the movement were, beyond all doubt, _The Yellow Book_ and _The Savoy_. Round them, as around the shrines of old beside the Ægean, gather the faithful and the chosen. In the other publications there was too much jostling with the profane, but here ‘_Procul profani_.’ It will be well, therefore, although it has been done more or less before, to study these two magazines in some detail, and also their literary editors who gathered the clan together. In both cases Beardsley was the art editor, though he was ‘fired,’ to put it plainly, from _The Yellow Book_ after its fourth number. His influence, therefore, permeated both. In fact, he made them both works of value for the coming generations, and particularly in the case of _The Savoy_ he bore the burden of the day and saved the monthly from fatuity. When he leaves _The Yellow Book_ it will be found to be never the same. When he is too ill to be active in _The Savoy_ it becomes very small beer. So interwoven with the lives and values of these publications is the genius of Beardsley that one cannot speak of the one without referring to the other. Of Beardsley himself I have already spoken, so I propose to confine myself strictly to the art editor, while dealing first with _The Yellow Book_ and its literary editor, Henry Harland, and then with _The Savoy_ and Mr. Arthur Symons.
