By emphasizing American writers, it was intended and received as a rebuke of “Harper’s,” which freely reprinted British authors. It is loaded with first printings by prominent contributors including Melville (“Bartleby the Scrivener,” November – December 1853; “Israel Potter,” July 1854 – March 1855), Thoreau (“excursion to Canada”, January-March 1853; “Cape Cod”, July – August 1855), Longfellow, Emerson and Bryant. Listed in ULS as “Putnam’s Magazine, Original Papers on Literature, Science, Art, and National Interests.” Merged into “Scribner’s Monthly” (785). |
