Liberty (1924-1950)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For other magazines named Liberty, see Liberty (magazine).
Liberty was a general-interest weekly magazine, published in the United States between 1924 and 1950. It was said at the time to be "the second greatest magazine in America", behind the Saturday Evening Post.
Liberty carried work by many of the most important and influential writers of the period. Unusually for a magazine of the era, they bought the rights to many of the printed works outright, and these remain in the hands of the Liberty Library Corporation.
The magazine serialized many early novels by P. G. Wodehouse, and was edited for a time by Darrell Huff. It is also remembered for printing "reading times" alongside each article, to give readers an idea of how long they would take to read.
