Summary: "The Philistine: a periodical of protest (Vol. I, No. 5, October 1895)" by Various is a literary periodical published during the late 19th century. This publication serves as a platform for commentary and critique on literature, social issues, and the arts, employing a humorous and satirical tone to challenge the status quo. It embodies the spirit of protest against mediocrity in publishing and the literary world, making it a relevant historical document reflecting the cultural debates of its time. In this particular issue, the editor, H. P. Taber, expresses a sharp critique of contemporary books and their publishers, doing so with a blend of wit and indignation. The articles and reviews lambaste various works for perceived failures in quality and integrity, emphasizing the responsibility of publishers and authors in contributing to the literary landscape. The writing not only targets specific titles but encourages readers to think critically about what constitutes good literature and the motives behind its creation. Additionally, the periodical includes poetry and prose that enhances its artistic appeal, offering insights into the sentiment of intellectuals and artists during this era.
