John O'London's Weekly was a weekly literary magazine that was published by George Newnes Ltd of London between 1919 and 1954. In 1960 it was briefly brought back into circulation (writer Peter Green's biography lists him as having been film critic at John O'London's between 1961 and 1963). Regarded as the leading literary magazine in the British Empire, at its height it had a circulation of 80,000, and it was popular among young and older readers alike. The magazine regularly featured a literate section on English grammar and word usage, and would recommend carefully selected good books.

has abstract	John O'London's Weekly was a weekly literary magazine that was published by George Newnes Ltd of London between 1919 and 1954. In 1960 it was briefly brought back into circulation (writer Peter Green's biography lists him as having been film critic at John O'London's between 1961 and 1963). Regarded as the leading literary magazine in the British Empire, at its height it had a circulation of 80,000, and it was popular among young and older readers alike. Founded in April 1919, John O'London's Weekly took its title from the pen name of one of its early editors, Wilfred Whitten, and its content featured contributions from the best known literary names of the day as well as from newer less well known writers. Regular contributors included Robert Wilson Lynd, Winston Churchill, Rebecca West, H. E. Bates, Arnold Bennett, Max Beerbohm, John Brophy, W. Somerset Maugham and H. L. A. Hart. The magazine regularly featured a literate section on English grammar and word usage, and would recommend carefully selected good books. Although John O'London's Weekly was very popular during the inter-war years, the outbreak of the Second World War had a dramatic impact on its circulation. Sales were reduced due to newsprint regulations and as many of its readers joined the services. High costs and changing tastes meant that sales did not recover after the war, and in September 1954 the magazine's publishers announced that publication would cease. (en) John O'London's Weekly was een wekelijks verschijnend Engels literair tijdschrift dat uitkwam van 1919 tot 1954 en in Londen werd uitgegeven door George Newnes. Het blad kende in de hoogtijdagen een oplage van rond 100.000 exemplaren. De naam van het blad verwijst naar de oprichter en eerste redacteur, Wilfred Whitten, die de naam John O'London als pseudoniem gebruikte. Het blad behoorde tot de populairste in zijn soort en publiceerde werk van vele bekende en nieuwe (nog) onbekende auteurs. Regelmatig werd bijgedragen door onder anderen Winston Churchill, Rebecca West, Arnold Bennett, Max Beerbohm, H.E. Bates, P.G. Wodehouse, Joseph Conrad en William Somerset Maugham. Naast fictie publiceerde het blad ook kritieken, aanbevolen literatuur, en artikelen over grammatica en woordgebruik van de Engelse taal. Na de Tweede Wereldoorlog bleek het lezerspubliek sterk afgenomen. De verminderde afzet, de stijgende kosten en de veranderende smaak van de lezers leidden ertoe dat het tijdschrift na de uitgave van het nummer van september 1954 werd opgeheven. (nl)
