This publication, "The Rise and Fall of Early American Magazine Culture" by Jared Gardner, explores the dynamic landscape of early American magazines, presenting them as a vital force in nation-building. Published by the University of Illinois Press on April 10, 2012, this work offers a fresh perspective on print culture, emphasizing the significance of editorship and a collaborative, salon-like environment over individual authorship. It challenges conventional scholarly focus on the novel by highlighting the multivocal nature of magazines and their porous distinction between author and reader, inviting a shared exchange of perspectives.
This manual serves as a comprehensive resource for understanding the intricacies of early American magazine culture. It delves into its primary subject, the evolution of magazines, and secondary themes such as print culture, nation-building, and the discourse between novels and magazines. The content, spanning 224 pages in English and available in EPUB format, provides an in-depth analysis of the argument that magazine culture was essential for national development. It details the research methodology employed, which involves a reexamination of early magazines and their extensive reach, offering a counter-argument to prevailing assumptions about this historical period.
Countering assumptions about early American print culture and challenging our scholarly fixation on the novel, Jared Gardner reimagines the early American magazine as a rich literary culture that operated as a model for nation-building by celebrating editorship over authorship and serving as a virtual salon in which citizens were invited to share their different perspectives. The Rise and Fall of Early American Magazine Culture reexamines early magazines and their reach to show how magazine culture was multivocal and presented a porous distinction between author and reader, as opposed to novel culture, which imposed a one-sided authorial voice and restricted the agency of the reader.
