An American Album: One Hundred and Fifty Years of Harper's Magazineby Lewis H. (edt) Lapham
Synopses & ReviewsBook News Annotation:This commemorative volume of one of this country's most respected,
left-leaning monthlies begins with a foreword by Arthur Schlesinger,
Jr., followed by an introduction/history by editor,
Lewis H. Lapham (also appearing in the June 2000 issue), and then
proceeds by decades, from the 1850s to the 1990s with 133 articles by
authors like Melville, Hawthorne, Greeley, Hardy, Kipling, Faulkner,
David Foster Wallace, and Joyce Carol Oates. This large and handsome
volume is peppered with b&w photos and illustrations, and is an
enjoyable-yet-sophisticated approach to American history—literary,
social, and political. Indexed by title and author.
