Excerpt from the Preface: "The papers now gathered into this volume, in the author's tenth year of service as editor of The Atlantic Monthly, are concerned with the magazine itself, with its pleasant home in Park Street, and with some of the writers who have given distinction to its pages. Under the general title of 'Atlantic Prologues' I have reprinted some of the brief Toastmaster addresses with which, in recent years, I have been in the habit of introducing each January number of the magazine. Although these informal addresses discuss primarily the surroundings and spirit of the Atlantic Monthly, they may also serve to suggest some of the constant problems involved in the art and mystery of magazine editing." Bliss Perry (1860-1954) was an American author, literary critic, editor, and professor. He was the editor of the Atlantic Monthly from 1899-1909. Perry had an accomplished and prolific career and wrote a number of novels, biographies, monographs, essays, and other written works.. Book. Book Condition: Fine. Binding: Hardcover
