Works by American Monthly Magazine
| 1829 | The American Monthly Magazine. Founded in Boston by N. P. Willis, this jocular and satirical magazine features essays, fiction, criticism, poetry, and humor, primarily written by the editor. Other contributors included John Lathrop Motley, Richard Hildreth, Lydia Huntley Sigourney, and Albert Pike. After financial difficulties and criticism by Boston's social elite, the magazine was absorbed by the New York Mirror. |
| 1833 | The American Monthly Magazine. Literary magazine founded by Henry William Herbert (1807-1858) in New York to rival the Knickerbocker debuts. Much of the content was written by Herbert himself, including some significant commentaries on theater, art, and music, as well as a novel, The Brothers, a Tale of the Fronde. The magazine absorbed the New England Magazine in 1835 and was edited by Charles Fenno Hoffman and Park Benjamin. Contributors included Albert Pike, Edgar Allan Poe, James Hall, and James Kirke Paulding, and the magazine particularly emphasized German literature, the American Lyceum, and the West. In later years the political focus of the magazine increased with writings by Horace Greeley and Henry Clay. It was absorbed by Horace Greeley's New Yorker in 1838. |
