| An ambitious, but financially disastrous attempt at a major illustrated literary magazine, conducted by Albion W. Tourgee, a noted “interpreter of the Negro’s dilemma in the post-bellum South.” As Chielens writes, it failed due to the editor’s “romantic view of life and literature in an age of objective, pessimistic determinism.” Issue 1 contains a contribution by Oscar Wilde. | |
