How the most respected literary periodical of its time balanced "high" culture with moderate liberalism
From its founding in 1857 until its sale by Houghton Mifflin in 1908, the Atlantic Monthly was the most respected literary periodical in the United States. This study focuses on the magazine's first seven editors: James Russell Lowell, James T. Fields, William Dean Howells, Thomas Bailey Aldrich, Horace Scudder, Walter Hines Page, and Bliss Perry. Ellery Sedgwick examines their personalities, editorial policies, and literary tastes, and shows how each balanced his role as advocate of "high" culture with the demands of the literary marketplace and American democracy. Although the Atlantic was rooted in the Yankee humanism of Boston, Cambridge, and Concord, its scope was national. Sedgwick points out that while the magazine spoke for high culture, its tradition was one of intellectual tolerance and of moderate liberalism on social and political issues. It supported abolition, women's rights, and religious tolerance, and published incisive criticism of unregulated industrial capitalism. The Atlantic also played an important role in the rise of American literary realism, and published early work not only by such authors as James, Jewett, and Howells, but also by Chesnutt, Du Bois, Cahan, and Zitkala-Sa.

Our men advanced with the same order. They told me that the warriors with the three feathers were the leaders.

Excerpt from The Atlantic Monthly, 1909, Vol. 103: A Magazine of Literature, Science, Art, and Politics Such, in substance, is the doctrine of Mr. Alden's book. He has spent a life time in watching the currents of contem porary thought and the dominant modes of expression. His frankness is charming. There is something springlike in this recurrent discovery that all things have become new and that they must be de scribed in a new dialect. Emerson was sure of it in the forties, and Victor Hugo in the thirties, and Coleridge and Words worth as they walked the Quantock Hills in 1797, and Herder as he talked to the young Goethe in Strassburg in 1770, and Diderot as he planned the great French Encyclopaedia in the illuminated sev enteen-fifties. That the spring has come a great many times already does not lessen one's pleasure in the harbingers of one spring more. Readers of Mr. Alden's earlier books do not need to be reminded of his range of philosophic interest, and his flexible curiosity of mind. He is at once a Greek and a Yankee, this pupil of Mark Hopkins who has grown gray and wise in his hospitable little corner of the great publishing house on Frana Square.
