For a time, there were also American and Australian editions. The magazine was founded by well-known publisher George Newnes, also famous for Tit-Bits, The Strand Magazine, Country Life, and others. It described itself as "an illustrated magazine of true narrative" and each month purported to feature "true-life" adventure and travel stories gathered from around the world. Its motto was "Truth is stranger than fiction". The magazine chronicled the adventures of two-fisted, manly men: adventurers to hidden lands who sailed through arctic seas or fought their way through lush jungles, heroic soldiers, sailors, and aviators, and the hunters who, like the intrepid "Bungalow Bill" of the Beatles song (though "Bill" and his real-life inspiration were American), went out with their elephants and guns to vanquish horrible wild beasts. Sometimes these tales beggared belief: the eagle-eyed aviator who claimed to have shot out the lens of a German sub's periscope from his airplane, armed only with a revolver; the man who choked a crocodile with his bare hands; the man who fought an ostrich; etc. Some
famous names occasionally wrote for the magazine (such as Arthur Conan Doyle, Henry Morton Stanley, Douglas Reeman, future film director James Whale, etc.), and it was copiously illustrated with photographs, as well as black and white drawings by such artists as Terence Cuneo, Cecil Stuart Tresilian, Alfred Pearse, Charles Sheldon, Paul Hardy, William Barnes Wollen, John L. Wimbush, Charles J. Staniland, Joseph Finnemore, John Charlton, Warwick Goble, Tom Browne, Ernest Prater, Gordon Browne, Edward S. Hodgson, Norman H. Hardy, Inglis Sheldon Williams, and Harry Rountree.The Times of London summed up the magazine rather nicely in an article in 2004: "The Wide World
unapologetically celebrated brave chaps with large moustaches on stiff upper lips, who did stupid and dangerous things. Sometimes they survived. Quite often, they didn’t. To the editors of The Wide World, either outcome was acceptable, so long as the stories were true, exhilarating and extremely unlikely."Subjects: Pulps; Pulp Magazines; The Wide World; True Adventure Stories |
