Thomas Wentworth Higginson, Henry Walcott Boynton, Reader's History of American Literature, Chapter 4: the New York period (search)
The Knickerbocker history. The Salmagundi papers amused the town for a time, and were suddenly discontinued. The Knickerbocker history of New York, published two years later, brought Irving his first real fame. He employed his theme, a burlesq humor, though the result was never very happy. The Knickerbocker group. Bryant, though sometimes classed among Knickerbocker authors, did not really belong to that clique; not being a native of New York, as were Halleck and Drake, both of whong and Bright. There was no doubt a certain imitativeness about these men which may well be called provincial. The Knickerbocker magazine, for instance, they liked to personify as Maga after the fashion of Blackwood; the only bit of such affectater, has undergone a reaction in fame, a reaction perhaps excessive and best exhibited in the brilliant article called Knickerbocker literature published many years ago in the Nation, Dec. 5, 1867 (Xix. 362). written by a young Harvard graduate n

The Atlantic monthly. Scholarship and philosophy, however, can make contributions to pure literature only by inadvertence. The establishment of the Atlantic monthly in 1857 marks the attainment of a distinct standard of pure literature among the descendants of the Puritans. The Knickerbocker magazine was breathing its last in New York, and Harper's magazine (1850) was as yet producing little literature of power. The Atlantic monthly, on the other hand, was able to depend at once upon an established constituency of writers. Lowell was its first editor, and his stipulation in accepting the position -that Holmes should be the first contributor engaged — suggests a range of choice upon which no American editor had hitherto been able to rely. In fiction and in verse it must b

osiah Gilbert Born in Belchertown, Mass., July 24, 1819.
