Book Overview

The Yellow Book, An Illustrated Quarterly V6: July, 1895 (1895) is a book edited by Henry Harland. It is the sixth volume in a series of quarterly publications that were popular in the late 19th century. The book features a collection of short stories, poems, and essays from various authors, including Arthur Symons, Max Beerbohm, and H.G. Wells. The book is illustrated with black and white drawings and includes a striking yellow cover, which became a trademark of the series. The content of the book reflects the aesthetic movement of the time, which emphasized art for art's sake and rejected the moral and social values of Victorian society. The Yellow Book was controversial at the time of its publication, with critics accusing it of promoting decadence and immorality. However, it was also highly influential and helped to shape the modernist literary movement of the early 20th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
