THE YELLOW BOOK

Published by John Lane at The Bodley Head in thirteen quarterly volumes between April 1894 and April 1897, The Yellow Book was edited by Henry Harland and, in the first year of the magazine’s print run, Aubrey Beardsley. Ella D’Arcy and Ethel Colburn Mayne served as sub-editors for parts of the print run. The Yellow Book Digital Edition (2011-2014), edited by Lorraine Janzen Kooistra and Dennis Denisoff, has been revised and updated for Y90s 2.0. The edition is based on physical copies held in Toronto Metropolitan University Library Archives and Special Collections, supplemented by archival materials from the Mark Samuels Lasner Collection, University of Delaware Library, Museums and Press. The flipbook facsimile volumes of The Yellow Book are provided by the Internet Archive from copies digitized by the University of Toronto Libraries.
