英语词汇confession magazines的起源、历史背景-英语词源词典

confession magazines. Confession magazines, which have been with us now for over 65 years, are an American invention that were an outgrowth of long soul-searching letters sent to physical culture crusader Bernard MacFadden’s Physical Cul- ture magazine in 1919. MacFadden’s first confession book was True Story, the great-grandmother of the genre, which currently has a circulation of 5 million, but there are scores of other con- fessions on the newsstands today. The first stories dealt with sweet young things who were so wicked that they dared to elope against their parents’ wishes, etc., while contemporary tales have virtually no taboo themes, ranging from well-written confessions about incest to stories such as “My Bride Is a Man” (where Julie was Jules before her sex-change operation). The yarns, which earn five to 10 cents a word, aren’t all written by readers. Professional writers turn out a large number, perhaps the majority of them, though some magazines do require an author to sign a release saying his or her story is based on a true experience.
