THE SAVOY REVIEWS

(Under Construction)


From The Globe and Mail “Books and Authors”: Review of The Savoy, Vol. 1

Unattributed
A Work of art is an expression of its author, for art is something more than an imitation of nature. It is a language in that it inevitably discovers the character and the purpose of the artist.

From The Academy: Review of The Savoy, Vol. 1

Unattributed
Though Mr. Aubrey Beardsley contributes several clever illustrations, the new quarterly, called The Savoy, is anything but a repetition of an old enterprise.

From The Athenæum “Our Library Table”: Review of The Savoy, Vol. 1

Unattributed
The Savoy (Smithers) declines to be considered an offshoot of the Yellow Book and although many of the contributors are the same, it is free from some of the offences of the older periodical.

From The Globe and Mail “Books and Authors”: Review of The Savoy, Vol. 2

Unattributed
The projectors of “The Savoy,” the decadent journal in which the one and only Aubrey Beardsley officiates, have prospered in their venture to the extent of enlarging their quarterly into a monthly and have entered upon a proposed literary career.

From The Academy “Magazines and Reviews”: Review of The Savoy, Vol. 2

Unattributed
The new number of the Savoy is printed admirably by the Chiswick Press, and is perhaps the cheapest thing that has been done at half-a-crown.

From Punch “Our Booking-Office”: Review of The Savoy, Vol. 2 and The Yellow Book, Vol. 9

Unattributed
The Yellow Book has reached its ninth volume, and appears in the merry, merry spring— time with a new front cover and title-page by Mrs. PERCY DEARMER ; which name I would re–write “Mrs. Per se DREAMER,” for the designs are of that grotesque, fantastic stuff that dreams are made of. Inability to admire them is my new loss&#x2014somehow.

From The National Observer: Review of The Savoy, Vol. 3

Unattributed
In the Savoy Jospeh Pennell has a very clever pen-and-ink drawing of ‘a fair at Chartres.’ The title is negatively reassuring.

From The Academy “From Crowded Shelves”: Review of The Savoy, Vol. 8

Unattributed
The Savoy. (Leonard Smithers.)— To the last number of The Savoy, which is entirely written by Mr. Arthur Symons, and illustrated (if that is the word) by Mr. Beardsley, the editor appends a literary causerie by way of the epilogue. In this he reviews the life of his magazine, from its birth a year ago to its present cessation “upon the midnight with no pain.”
