SUSAN GOODMAN is a professor of English and the H. Fletcher Brown Chair of Humanities at the University of Delaware. She has been a Guggenheim Fellow and the recipient of grants from the NEH and Andrew W. Mellon Foundation. She is the author of six previous books, including biographies of Edith Wharton and William Dean Howells.
Goodman delivers an admirably concise but textured examination of
one of the nation s leading intellectual magazines. . . . Melding
textual analyses with biographical and historical background, the
author provides something of a microcosmic look at the writing of
an astonishing number of literary luminaries who graced the
publication s pages. . . . Highly recommended. Choice"
Taking her cue from editors such as William Dean Howells, who knew
that books lived as much on author s personalities as on their
contents, Goodman s own book, with its Dickensian array of
characters, stands out amid drier studies of the same milieu. Times
