In around 1894, Owen Seaman (1861 - 1936) was recruited by Bertram Fletcher Robinson to write for a periodical entitled The Granta. Seaman was previously Professor of Literature at the Durham College of Science (1888 - 1893). Later, Seaman became the editor of Punch (1906 - 1932) and he was awarded both a knighthood and baronetcy (1914 and 1933 respectively). During 1904, Fletcher Robinson wrote that Seaman was one of the few who 'kept the light of parody burning amongst us' (Vanity Fair, Thursday 1 September 1904, pp. 271 - 272).
