The World, UK

Edmund Hodgson Yates (1831-1894), English journalist and author, established a new London weekly, The World, "a journal for men and women" with the help of E. C. Grenville Muiray in 1874. He edited it himself, and it was published weekly on Wednesday, price 6d.

The paper at once became a success, and Yates bought out Grenville Murray and became sole proprietor. The World was the first of the new type of "society papers," abounding in personal criticism and gossip: one of its features was the employment of the first person singular in its columns, a device by which the personal element in this form of journalism was emphasized.

Betram Fletcher Robinson also held the editorial post in The World (October 1906-December 1906).

Wodehouse contributed twelve items to The World, eleven of which are reproduced here. The 12th, a collaboration with Bertram Fletcher Robinson, can be read in the book "Bobbles and Plum."
