A record of Atlantic Monthly authors reads like a Who's Who of American literature. The magazine's stable of contributors included Mark Twain, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Louisa May Alcott, Kate Chopin, Jack London, Henry James, Robert Frost, and many others. This book captures the emerging culture of arts, ideas, science, and literature in America in its adolescence, as filtered through the intersecting lives and words of the best and brightest writers of the day. Through this lens, Susan Goodman examines the life of the magazine from its emergence in 1857 through the 1920s. -- Book Jacket.
