The Dome, subtitled consecutively "A Quarterly Containing Examples of All the Arts" and "An Illustrated Monthly Magazine and Review", was a literary periodical associated with the "Nineties" scene, edited by Ernest J. Oldmeadow, publisher and manager of The Unicorn Press based in London at 7Cecil Court. It ran for three years, from March 1897 to July 1900. It is usually considered to be the last more or less successful attempt to deliver a valuable literary magazine with a considerable circulation, yet working from anAestheticist rationale, according toWalter Pater's concepts.
Even more than itsdecadent movement predecessorsThe Yellow Book (published 1884–97) andThe Savoy (1896),The Dome dealt with both visual and verbal art, and it also covered music and theatre. It was known for its in-depth studies of painters which rose above the level of mere appreciations, and often championed promising talents such asEdward Elgar. The magazine was the last example of Britishavant-garde publications which focused on aesthetics since the futureavant-garde magazines would focus on modernism.[1]
