Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Fifty Years of American Idealism: The New York Nation; 1865-1915; Selections and Comments Few periodicals in the history of journalism can claim, like the Nation, to have preserved their original features essentially unchanged during fifty years of continuous existence. The Nation of the present day may safely challenge comparison with the number which, on July 6, 1865, was issued by Edwin Lawrence Godkin, as editor-in-chief, and Wendell Phillips Garrison, as literary editor. The two men who thus stamped their individuality on a journal prized equally by two succeeding generations of thoughtful readers must indeed have possessed rare qualities of mind and character. Godkin and Garrison were as dissimilar in temperament and in their philosophy of life as two men of equally high ideals could well be, but they supplemented each other in a way which made their joint editorial work a solid unit. There are two excellent sources from which to reconstruct the lives of these remarkable men as far as their connection with the Nation is concerned, - Rollo Ogden´s "Life and Letters of Edwin Lawrence Godkin," and J. H. McDaniels´s "Letters and Memorials of Wendell Phillips Garrison." About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
