"The story of the Atlantic Monthly reflects the story of a nation and its aspirations. In bringing together the likes of Ralph Waldo Emerson, Harriet Beecher Stowe, and Nathaniel Hawthorne, the Atlantic played its appointed role in its appointed city. Perhaps only Boston could have given rise to a magazine whose cornerstones rested on the principles of public service, intellectual honesty and democracy. Founded in 1857, as the United States staggered toward civil war, the Atlantic served the cause of freedom through literature. Its readers and contributors saw it as the voice of the nation and, through the years of war, the voice of the Union."�"Susan Goodman, Republic of Words: The Atlantic Monthly and Its Writers, 1857-1925 (2011). "The Atlantic Monthly was established in November, 1857, by Mssrs. Phillips, Sampson and Company, Publishers, Boston. Four volumes, covering two years and two months, were issued by this firm, when the magazine passed into the hands of Messrs. Ticknor and Fields. Mr. James Russell Lowell was the first editor of the magazine, followed by Mr. James T. Fields. Upon Fields' retirement in 1871, Mr. William Dean Howells became sole editor. The articles, at first, were not signed, the publishers did not publicly announce them, and the table of contents accompanying each volume did not contain the names of authors annexed to their several contributions. This practice was begun in the ninth volume, and at the beginning of the twenty-sixth the present custom was adopted of signing each article with the author's name; but at no time has it been the custom to publish the authorship of the contributions to the editorial departments."�"Preface to The Atlantic Index From 1857 to 1888, Including also a list of the authors represented, with their contributions arranged in chronological order. Boston, Houghton, Mifflin and Co., The Riverside Press, Cambridge, 1889. PROMINENT AUTHORS IN THE ATLANTIC MONTHLY VOLS. 1-18, THEIR HISTORIES INTIMATELY INTERTWINED: LOUIS AGASSIZ (1807-1873) (22 articles) was a Swiss-born biologist who emigrated to the United States in 1847 and went on to become professor of zoology and geology at Harvard, to found its Museum of Comparative Zoology. In 1837, Agassiz proposed that the Earth had been subjected to a past ice age. He presented the theory to the Helvetic Society that ancient glaciers flowed outward from the Alps, and even larger glaciers had covered the plains and mountains of Europe, Asia, and North America and smothered the entire Northern Hemisphere in a prolonged ice age. By 1857, Agassiz was so well-loved that his friend Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote "The Fiftieth Birthday of Agassiz" in his honor and read it at a dinner given for Agassiz by the Saturday Club in Cambridge. The next year, Oliver Wendell Holmes wrote, "The Great Professor has given the first Monograph of his Magnum Opus to the Great Republic and the wider realm of Science." OW Holmes (1:320 Jan 1858, Contributions to the Natural History of the United States of America. By Louis Agassiz (1857). Agassiz' "Methods of Study in Natural History" was first published in 9 articles in The Atlantic (vols 9 & 10 1862) and "Formation of Glaciers" (12:568, 751; 13:56, 224, 723; 14:86 1863-4). Not addressed in The Atlantic is Agassiz' belief that each human race had been separately created, a view that was used to support white supremacy. By contrast, Asa Gray, a supporter of Charles Darwin, believed in the shared evolutionary ancestry of all humans. LOUISA MAY ALCOTT (1832-1888) (5 articles) was an American novelist, short story writer and poet, but was also an abolitionist, temperance advocate, and feminist. When the American Civil War broke out in 1861, Alcott wanted to enlist in the Union Army but could not because she was a woman. In 1862, she applied to the U. S. Sanitary Commission and was assigned to work in the Union Hotel Hospital Washington, D. C., where her duties included cleaning wounds, assisting with amputations, and dressing wounds. She served as a nurse for six weeks in 1862�"1863 during which she contracted typhoid fever and became critically ill partway through her service. WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT (1794-1878) (7 articles) was author of The Death of Slavery (Vol. 18:120). An American romantic poet and journalist, he was also long-time editor of the New York Evening Post. By 1832, after publishing an expanded version of Poems in the U.S. and, with the assistance of Washington Irving, in Great Britain, Bryant began to be recognized as one of his generation's greatest poets. In 1860, he was one of the prime Eastern exponents of Abraham Lincoln, and Bryant introduced Lincoln at Cooper Union prior to his Cooper Union speech, which was considered influential in lifting Lincoln to the nomination and then the presidency. As a writer, Bryant was an early advocate of American literary nationalism, and his own poetry focusing on nature as a metaphor for truth established a central pattern in the American literary tradition. The Return of the Birds (Vol. 14:37 July 1864) ends, "Glory to the brave, Peace to the torn and bleeding land. And freedom to the slave!" CHARLES DARWIN (1809-1882) first wrote to ASA GRAY (1810-1888) in 1855. A correspondence and intellectual comradeship quickly developed to the point where in July 1857 Darwin informed Gray of his as yet unpublished theory of natural selection, thereby making Gray the third person (after Joseph Hooker and Charles Lyell) to know his secret. Part of this letter to Gray was later included in the presentation to the Linnean Society in July 1858 when Darwin first made his theory (and Wallace's) public. After the publication of The Origin of Species, Gray became Darwin's foremost American defender against his Harvard colleague Louis Agassiz and other critics. Gray arranged for the publication of an American edition of the Origin of Species and wrote a positive review for the American Journal of Science. Then in the three issues of The Atlantic Monthly (Vol. 6:109-116, 229-239, 406-425 - Jul, Aug, Oct 1860) he wrote again, anonymously, in defense of Darwin (the first two parts "Darwin on the Origin of Species", the third "Darwin and His Reviewers"). Darwin was extremely pleased with Gray's Atlantic Monthly piece and eventually funded its publication-retitled and under Gray's name and had 250 copies sent to him. An intimate friend of Asa Gray, CHARLES JAMES SPRAGUE (1823-1903) was a botanist who contributed many valuable specimens and critical notes to Gray's collections. He was elected a fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and his herbarium is now at Boston's Museum of Science. He was author of "The Darwinian Theory" (18:415 Oct 1866), a reflection on the global response to the extraordinary impact of The Origin of Species 7 years after its publication. Notably, also contained in the October issue is a report (pp 492-502) titled The Election in November: ""We believe that this election is a turning-point in our history . . . It is in a moral aversion to slavery as a great wrong that the chief strength of the Republican party lies. . . . We are persuaded that the election of Mr. Lincoln will do more than anything else to appease the excitement of the country. He has proved both his ability and his integrity; he has head experience enough in public affairs to make him a statesman, and not enough to make him a politician. Abraham Lincoln and Charles Darwin were born on the same day, February 12, 1809. Both lost their mother at a young age and, despite their differences in upbringing, both men saw themselves as autodidacts. Darwin closely followed the events of the American Civil War and wanted Lincoln and the Union to prevail. Of particular interest in this volume of The Atlantic, the article on the coming presidential election refers to geologic time and extinction of the dinosaurs as a metaphor for the hoped-for extinction of slavery. FREDERICK DOUGLASS (1818-1895) became the most important leader of the movement for African American civil rights in the 19th century. After escaping from slavery in Maryland in 1838, Douglass became a national leader of the abolitionist movement in Massachusetts and New York and gained fame for his oratory and incisive antislavery writings. Due to his prominence and activism during the war, Douglass received several political appointments. He served as president of the Reconstruction-era Freedman's Savings Bank. In his essay in The Atlantic, Reconstruction (Vol. 18:761 Dec 1866), Douglass concludes, "Fortunately, the Constitution of the United States knows no distinction between citizens on account of color. Neither does it know any difference between a citizen of a State and a citizen of the United States. Citizenship evidently includes all the rights of citizens, whether State or national. If the Constitution knows none, it is clearly no part of the duty of a Republican Congress now to institute one." Meanwhile, white insurgents had quickly arisen in the South after the war, organizing first as secret vigilante groups, including the Ku Klux Klan. To combat these efforts, Douglass supported the presidential campaign of Ulysses S. Grant in 1868. RALPH WALDO EMERSON (1803-1882) (23 articles) was an American essayist, lecturer, philosopher, minister, abolitionist, and poet who led the Transcendentalist movement of the mid-19th century. He remains among the linchpins of the American romantic movement, and his work has greatly influenced the thinkers, writers, and poets that followed him. Emerson visited Washington, D.C., at the end of January 1862. He gave a public lecture at the Smithsonian on January 31, 1862. The next day, February 1, his friend Charles Sumner took him to meet Lincoln at the White House. Emerson reported on the president's emancipation proclamation in The Atlantic (Vol. 10:638 Nov 1862). On May 6, 1862, Emerson's prot�g� Henry David Thoreau died of tuberculosis at the age of 44. Emerson delivered his eulogy. Another friend, Nathaniel Hawthorne, died two years after Thoreau, in 1864. Emerson served as a pallbearer when Hawthorne was buried in Concord. ASA GRAY (1810-1888) (3 articles) is considered the most important American botanist of the 19th century. He was an ardent supporter of Darwin and his book Darwiniana was considered an important explanation of how religion and science were not necessarily mutually exclusive. He was appointed Fisher Professor of Natural History at Harvard in 1842. Gray abhorred slavery. In his view, science proved the unity of all man because all human races can interbreed and produce fertile offspring, i.e., all members of a species are connected genetically. He also felt Christianity taught the unity of man. Darwin found a kindred spirit in Gray, as they both had an empirical approach to science, and first wrote to him in April 1855. During 1855�"1881 they exchanged about 300 letters. Darwin published On the Origin of Species on November 24, 1859. The first printing was 1,250 copies, with some having been sent to America via ship, one of which was for Gray. A book review by Asa Gray of The Origin of Species in the Atlantic Monthly (Vol. 6:109,229 July, Aug 1860) combined admiration of Darwin's "eloquent" ideas with concern that the ideas "presaged no good to old beliefs." This was followed by "Darwin and His Reviewers" (Vol. 6:406 Oct 1860). Gray and Agassiz strongly disagreed; Agassiz was adamantly opposed to the idea of evolution, whereas Gray was a staunch supporter. A change in The Atlantic Monthly's editorial leadership shortly after the publication of Gray's essays favored Agassiz; he contributed frequently to the magazine well into old age. Asa Gray, the victor in the fight over the American reception of Darwinism, and in some ways over the future of American science, never appeared in these pages again. NATHANIEL HAWTHORNE (1804-1864) (15 articles) published works including novels, short stories, and a biography of his college friend Franklin Pierce, written for his 1852 campaign for President of the United States, which Pierce won, becoming the 14th president. Hawthorne was rewarded in 1853 with the position of United States consul in Liverpool shortly after the publication of Tanglewood Tales. At the outset of the American Civil War, Hawthorne traveled with William D. Ticknor to Washington, D.C., where he met Abraham Lincoln and other notable figures. He wrote about his experiences in the essay "Chiefly About War Matters" in The Atlantic (Vol. 10:43 1862). OLIVER WENDELL HOLMES SR (1809-1894) (46 articles) was an American physician, poet, and polymath based in Boston. Grouped among the fireside poets, he was acclaimed by his peers as one of the best writers of the day. Following training at the prestigious medical schools of Paris, Holmes was granted his Doctor of Medicine degree from Harvard Medical School in 1836. Surrounded by Boston's literary elite, Holmes made an indelible imprint on the literary world of the 19th century. In 1856, the Atlantic or Saturday Club was created to launch and support The Atlantic Monthly. Holmes not only provided its name but also wrote various pieces for the journal throughout the years. For the magazine's first issue, Holmes produced a new version of two of his earlier essays, The Autocrat at the Breakfast-Table that secured the initial success of The Atlantic Monthly (12 installments published through 1857-1858). Its sequel, The Professor at the Breakfast-Table, was released shortly after beginning in 12 installments through 1859. At this time, Holmes invented the "American stereoscope", a 19th-century entertainment in which pictures were viewed in 3-D (3:738 June 1859). In September of that year, he published an article titled "Bread and the Newspaper" in the Atlantic (8:346 Oct 61), in which he proudly identified himself as an ardent Unionist. Holmes also had a personal stake in the war: his oldest son, Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., enlisted in the Army against his father's wishes in April 1861 and was injured three times in battle. Holmes published in The Atlantic Monthly an account of his search for his son after hearing news of his injury at the Battle of Antietam (My Hunt for the Captain Vol. 10:738). JULIA WARD HOWE (1819-1910) (18 articles) was an American author and poet, known for writing the "Battle Hymn of the Republic" as new lyrics to an existing song, an advocate for abolitionism and a social activist, particularly for women's suffrage. In 1860, she published A Trip to Cuba (Vol. 3:601,686, Vol. 4:184,323,455,602, 1859) which told of her 1859 trip. It had generated outrage from William Lloyd Garrison, an abolitionist, for its derogatory view of Blacks. Howe believed it was right to free the slaves but did not believe in racial equality. She was inspired to write "The Battle Hymn of the Republic" after she and her husband visited Washington, D.C. and met Abraham Lincoln at the White House in November 1861. During the trip, her friend James Freeman Clarke suggested she write new words to the song "John Brown's Body", which she did on November 19. The song was set to William Steffe's already existing music and Howe's version was first published in the Atlantic Monthly in February 1862 (Vol 9:145). It quickly became one of the most popular songs of the Union during the American Civil War. ABRAHAM LINCOLN (1809-1865) was supported by the editors of The Atlantic, beginning with an article by Lowell in support of his candidacy for president (Vol. 6:492 1960). This was followed by an article of his place in history by George Bancroft (Vol. 15:757 Jun 1865), on the Summer if 1865 by Henry H. Brownell (Vol. 16:491 Oct 1865), and "Six Months at the White House" by F. B. Carpenter (Vol. 18:644 Nov 1866). HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW (1807-1882) (29 articles) was the first American to completely translate Dante's Divine Comedy (Vol. 18:11,273,544 Jul Sep Nov) and was one of the fireside poets from New England. Longfellow supported abolitionism and especially hoped for reconciliation between the northern and southern states after the American Civil War. His son Charles was injured during the war. "The Cumberland" (10:669 Dec 1862) is a succinct yet poignant depiction of the sinking of the namesake ship during the Battle of Hampton Roads. Longfellow's vivid account highlights the bravery of the crew, the intensity of the battle, and the ultimate loss. His poem "Killed at the Ford" is a narrative poem, telling of a nameless, handsome young soldier killed in the War, and its tragic repercussions on his family at home (Vol. 17:479 Apr 66). JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL (1819-1891) (96 articles) was an American Romantic poet, critic, editor, and diplomat. Lowell believed that the poet played an important role as a prophet and critic of society. He used poetry for reform, particularly in abolitionism. Lowell did not know what vocation to choose after graduating, and he vacillated among business, ministry, medicine, and law. He ultimately enrolled at Harvard Law School in 1840 and was admitted to the bar two years later. In the autumn of 1857, The Atlantic Monthly was established, and Lowell was its first editor. With its first issue in November of that year, he at once gave the magazine the stamp of high literature and of bold speech on public affairs. In May 1861, he left The Atlantic Monthly when James T. Fields took over as editor; the magazine had been purchased by Ticknor and Fields for $10,000 two years before. He endorsed Abraham Lincoln for the presidency in the 1860 election, predicting that it would prove to be "a turning-point in our history" (Vol. 6:492 Oct 1860). As early as 1845, Lowell had predicted the debate over slavery would lead to war and, as the Civil War broke out in the 1860s, Lowell used his role at the North American Review to praise Abraham Lincoln and his attempts to maintain the Union. Shortly after Lincoln's assassination, Lowell was asked to join Emerson and Holmes at Harvard to present a poem in memory of graduates killed in the war (Ode Recited at the Harvard Commemoration Vol. 16:364 Sep 1865). HARRIET BEECHER STOWE (1811-1896) (14 articles) was an American abolitionist, author of Uncle Tom's Cabin (1852), which reached an audience of millions as a novel and play and became influential in the United States and in Great Britain, energizing anti-slavery forces in the American North, while provoking widespread anger in the South. She was influential both for her writings as well as for her public stances and debates on social issues of the day. After the start of the Civil War, Stowe traveled to the capital, Washington, D.C., where she met President Abraham Lincoln on November 25, 1862. HENRY DAVID THOREAU (1817-1862) (8 articles) was an American naturalist, essayist, poet, and philosopher. Among his lasting contributions are his writings on natural history and philosophy, in which he anticipated the methods and findings of ecology and environmental history. Thoreau was a lifelong abolitionist, delivering lectures that attacked the fugitive slave law while praising the writings of Wendell Phillips and defending the abolitionist, John Brown. In 1851, Thoreau became increasingly fascinated with natural history and narratives of travel and expeditions. He admired William Bartram and Charles Darwin's Voyage of the Beagle. He also kept a series of notebooks, and these observations became the source of his late writings on natural history, such as "Walking." Vol 9:657 June,1862 contains the posthumous first printing of Thoreau's essay, 'Walking' written between 1851 and 1860. Thoreau read the piece a total of ten times, more than any other of his lectures. Other Atlantic Monthlies of this period also first printed his other most important essays: `Autumnal Tints (10:385 Oct 1862),' `Wild Apples (10:513 Nov 1862),' `Life Without Principle (12;484 Oct 1863),' and `Night and Moonlight (12:579 Nov 1863). Thoreau was fervently against slavery and actively supported the abolitionist movement. He participated as a conductor in the Underground Railroad, delivered lectures that attacked the Fugitive Slave Law, and in opposition to the popular opinion of the time, supported radical abolitionist militia leader John Brown and his party. JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER (1807-1892) (38 articles) was an American Quaker poet and advocate of the abolition of slavery in the United States. Frequently listed as one of the fireside poets, he was influenced by the Scottish poet Robert Burns. He was an elector in the presidential election of 1860 and of 1864 for Abraham Lincoln both times. In the months leading up to the American Civil War, Whittier built a strong national audience. In January 1861, The Atlantic Monthly, which had previously spurned his poetry, praised him for his "keen and discriminating love of right" and his "love of freedom". (At Port Royal 1861 9:244 Feb 62; In War-Time 10:235 Aug 62; The Battle Autumn of 1962 10:510 Oct 62; The Proclamation 11:240 Feb 63; The Peace Autumn 16:545 Nov 65). The passage of the Thirteenth Amendment in 1865 ended both slavery and his public cause, and so Whittier turned to other forms of poetry for the remainder of his life.
