The Oxford and Cambridge Magazine

Prehistory

The first plans for the magazine were made in the summer of 1855, when a group of undergraduates of Oxford University, that called themselves "The Brotherhood," decided to found and conduct a monthly magazine with substantial value. "The first suggestion of this magazine was made by Dixon to Morris. It was taken up eagerly by the others." Morris, who was 22 of age then, and Burne-Jones met Wilfred Heeley (1833-1876), who was then a student at Trinity College, Cambridge. In November 1955 negotiations with the publishers Bell and Daldy were started.

Although most of the members of the group, including Morris, came to the university with a plan to enter the clergy, their plans changed around 1856. For instance Morris and Burne-Jones decided to become artists, while "walking together on the quays of Havre late into the August night," on a trip to France in the summer of 1855.

One of the sources of inspiration for the magazine was The Germ, the periodical that was intended to spread the ideas about art of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood, but that only appeared for a short period in 1850. But the aims of Morris and his friends were more secular. They saw the magazine "as an agent of social change, rather than a vehicle for espousing specific aesthetic theories." "The Oxford and Cambridge Magazine coupled the aesthetic revolt of William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, and Dante Rossetti with the social dissatisfaction of Carlyle and Ruskin to become a periodical which despite its short existence, changed the direction of Pre-Raphaelite thinking and played an influential role in shaping social ideas and attitudes in the latter half of the nineteenth century."

The printer of the Magazine was: Chiswick Press.

The price per issue was 1 Shilling.

Contents

The magazine existed one year. In that year the total number of contributors was 14 (14 men and 1 woman). The total number of contributions was 69. Among that number were 16 short stories (of which eight were written by Morris), 17 poems (five by Morris) and 19 essays on literature, 2 on art, 6 on society and politics, 2 on history, 1 on religion, 1 on philosophy and 5 on miscellaneous topics. So "although there was an honest effort to cover many subjects, the prevailing interest of the Brotherhood was literary in nature."

None of the contributions was signed (two excepted). Fleming gives complete lists of contributors for every issue. But the exact origin of some of the contributions is not always (exactly) known, for instance in the fifth issue (May).

The first issue was edited by Morris, but all later issues were edited by Fulford.
