Introduction by D. W. Brogan. If anyone were henceforth to ask for the best possible introduction to American literature, for the most illuminating commentary on American history for the past 100 years, it would be sufficient to refer him to this book. Indeed, probably no other single volume provides such an excellent compendium of the thought and writing of any other country for that period. The Atlantic Monthly was founded in 1857 when the dark clouds of civil war were hanging low over the United States, with James Russell Lowell, a future ambassador to Great Britain, as its editor. Subsequent editors included some of the most illustrious figures in American literature as well as anoth ambassador to Great Britain, Walter Hines Page. The English edition has been somewhat shortened from the American in order to obtain a more concentrated interest for British readers; the Thurder article, however, is new.
