New Statesman

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.01 sec.

New Statesman

British weekly periodical, founded in 1913 by Sidney Webb and George Bernard Shaw. In 1931 it absorbed The Nation and Athenaeum, and in 1934 the Weekend Review. Today the New Statesman is an influential political and literary review, and is one of the biggest selling left-wing periodicals in Britain.

The Nation, founded 1907, had superseded the Speaker, founded 1890, and both supported the extreme radical wing of the Liberal party. The Nation amalgamated with the Athenaeum 1921.
