Argosy (UK magazine)

A somewhat racy tone was set from the outset by serializing Charles Reade's novel Griffith Gaunt, which concerns a case of bigamy.

Among the many well-known contributors were Hesba Stretton, Julia Kavanagh, Christina Rossetti, Sarah Doudney, Rosa Nouchette Carey, Anthony Trollope, Henrietta Keddie (as Sarah Tytler), Helen Zimmern, and the traveller and linguist Arminius Vambery.

A later British Argosy was a short story magazine in paperback size focusing on reprints, and was published from 1926 to 1974.

[5] Lord Dunsany, Ray Bradbury,[6] H. E. Bates, Victor Canning, Michael Gilbert, C. S. Forester, Elizabeth Goudge, Pamela Hansford Johnson and Gerald Bullett were among the writers whose material appeared in Argosy.

[7] A third United Kingdom-based[8] magazine of short stories entitled Argosy published only two issues, one dated December 2013 and the other February 2014.
