A monthly magazine first published in Boston in 1857, edited by JR Lowell. The essay series "The Dictator of the Breakfast Table" by OW Holmes, a regular contributor who gave the magazine its name, and other works were well received. At first it had a strong character as a literary magazine, mainly in New England, but from around the time of the Civil War it dealt with politics and current affairs, and after the war Ohio-born WD Howells became chief editor (1871-81), giving it a cultural breadth. Since the beginning of the 20th century, it has become less literary in character, and more focused on current affairs. Source: Heibonsha World Encyclopedia, 2nd Edition Information |
1857年アメリカのボストンでJ.R.ローエル編集で創刊された月刊誌。誌名をつけた定期寄稿者O.W.ホームズのエッセー・シリーズ《朝食のテーブルの独裁者》その他は好評を博した。はじめはニューイングランドを中心とした文芸雑誌の性格が強かったが,南北戦争のころから政治・時事問題を扱い,戦後はオハイオ生れのW.D.ハウエルズが主筆(1871‐81)となり文化的広がりを与えた。20世紀に入ってからは文学的個性は少なくなり,時局ものに重きを置いている。
