The Atlantic Monthly (also known as
The Atlantic) is an
United States literary/cultural
magazine founded in Boston in 1857. Its creators were a group of writers that included Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., and
James Russell Lowell (who would become its first editor). The current CEO and group publisher is
John Fox Sullivan.http://www.theatlantic.com/a/masthead.mhtml Atlantic masthead
Format and periodicity
Originally a monthly publication, the magazine, subscribed to by 480,000 readers, now publishes ten times a year and features articles in the fields of
political science and foreign affairs, as well as
book reviews. In
2005,
The Atlantic announced that it would cease including short stories in its regular issues, but rather in a single annual special edition.
There are also articles on other intellectually challenging topics, e.g., the ongoing computer-related and Asian-society writings by James Fallows.
Literary history
The Atlantic Monthly was the first to publish
Julia Ward Howe's "Battle Hymn of the Republic" (on February 1,
1862), and William Parker's "The Freedman's Story" (in February and March 1866). It published Charles W. Eliot's "The New Education" (a call for practical reform) that resulted in his appointment to Presidency of Harvard University in 1869. It also published some of
Charles Chesnutt's tales before they were collected for The Conjure Woman. In August 1963, the magazine published
Martin Luther King, Jr.'s defense of
civil disobedience in "
Letter from Birmingham Jail". The magazine was a point of connection between Emily Dickinson and
Thomas Wentworth Higginson; having read an article in the
Atlantic by Higginson, Dickinson asked him to become her mentor. It has also published many of the works of
Mark Twain, including one that managed to escape publication until 2001. Its best known current writers are
James Fallows, Mark Bowden, Corby Kummer, and
Caitlin Flanagan.
The magazine has also published speculative articles that inspired the development of whole new technologies. The classic example is the publication of Vannevar Bush's essay "
As We May Think" in July 1945, which inspired Douglas Engelbart and later
Ted Nelson to develop the modern workstation and
hypertext technology.
In April, 2005, the
Atlantic editors decided to cease publishing fiction in regular issues in favor of a newsstand-only annual fiction issue.
Ownership
on the front page.For all but its recent existence,
The Atlantic has been known as a distinctively New England literary magazine (as opposed to
Harper's and later
The New Yorker, both from New York, New York), and by its third year was published by the famous Boston publishing house of William Ticknor (later to become part of Houghton Mifflin). The magazine was purchased by its then editor,
Ellery Sedgwick, during
World War I, but remained in Boston.
In 1980, the magazine was acquired by Mortimer Zuckerman, property magnate and founder of
Boston Properties, who became its Chairman.
On
September 27,
1999, ownership of the magazine was transferred from Zuckerman to David G. Bradley, owner of the Inside the Beltway news-focused
National Journal Group. Although Bradley had promised that no major changes were in store, the magazine's publishers announced in April 2005, that the editorial offices would leave their long-time home at 77 North Washington St. in Boston to join the company's advertising and circulation divisions in Washington, D.C. apparently due to the high cost of Boston real estate."Atlantic, 148-year institution, leaving city magazine of Twain, James, Howells heads to capital,
Boston Globe, April 15, 2005 Later, in August, Bradley told the
New York Observer, cost cutting from the move would amount to a minor $200,000–$300,000 and those savings would be swallowed by severance related spending. The reason, then, was to create a hub in Washington where the top minds from all of Bradley's publications could collaborate. Few of the Boston staff agreed to relocate, allowing Bradley to embark on an open search for a new editorial staff."Atlantic owner scours country for cinder-editor",
