Sinossi
Excerpt from The Magazine in America
These papers, for the most part published in The Book man, present an informal history of the magazine move ment in the United States, from its beginning down to the close of the nineteenth century. The author has not undertaken the business of the genuine historian. In the few studies he has encountered of magazines of spe cial periods, he has found as many contradicted state ments of fact as an informed reader may discover in his own pages. Many of the statistics of magazines have been entirely lost, partly through contemporaneous in difference to such ephemera and partly because the persons who knew the facts were willing to let them disappear. This account seeks merely to arrange our magazines and their tendencies in order, and to assemble such published opinions about both as the author in his reading has found interesting either in themselves or in their disagreement. Perfectly fair-minded people unfortunately have at the time little that is interesting to say and less occasion for saying it. Only out of some fullness of the heart have mouths spoken of matters which were mistakenly sup posed to be of small concern to the general public. Edi tors and proprietors notoriously put their best foot for ward, and avoid mention of derogatory items which com petitors and contributors are as eager to detach and emphasise. As a consequence, the facts of the period are to be found only by minute search and comparison of sophisticated or biassed documents. The author has had no opportunity to verify, sift, and weigh all the collectable evidence - which is the duty of veritable history.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the development of magazines in the United States from their humble beginnings in the 18th century to the end of the 19th century. The author traces the impact of these periodicals on American intellectual and literary culture. One theme that emerges is the role of magazines in educating and informing the public. Early magazines often contained a mix of poetry, essays, and scientific reports, reflecting the broad interests of their readers. As the country grew and became more literate, magazines became more specialized, catering to particular audiences. Another theme is the tension between commercialism and literary merit. Many magazines struggled to balance the need to attract subscribers with the desire to publish high-quality content. Some resorted to sensationalism and gossip, while others adhered to more serious and scholarly fare. The author also examines the role of magazines in American literary history. Many prominent writers got their start by publishing in magazines, and the pages of these periodicals often reflected the major literary trends of the day. This book provides a fascinating glimpse into the world of American magazines, shedding light on their cultural and historical significance.
