The Nation and Atheneum
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from The Nation (UK weekly))
The Nation and Atheneum or simply The Nation was a United Kingdom political weekly newspaper with a Liberal / Labour viewpoint. It was formed in 1921 from the merger of the Athenaeum, a literary magazine published in London since 1828 and the smaller and newer Nation.
The enterprise was purchased by a group led by the economist John Maynard Keynes in 1923. From then on it carried numerous articles by Keynes.[1] Other contributors included H. N. Brailsford, J. A. Hobson, Harold Laski, Leonard Woolf, David Garnett, and G. D. H. Cole.[2]
In 1931 it was absorbed into the Labour weekly the New Statesman which was known as the New Statesman and Nation until 1964.[3][2]
