| Item Description: | Founded and edited by Daniel K. Whitaker, the Southern Literary Journal was regional in its appeal. It recorded the progress and achievement of southern culture, defended slavery, and encouraged southern authors. The leading contributor was William Gilmore Simms, who was already the foremost literary figure in the South; he wrote sketches, criticisms, and verse in abundance. The Journal's tone was that of a review rather than of a popular magazine; essays on fine arts and literary notices were of some importance. After the magazine was taken over by Bartholomew Rivers Carroll in 1838, it became somewhat livelier, publishing dramatic reviews and fiction by Mrs. Elizabeth F. Ellet and others, but it lasted only a year. Cf. American periodicals, 1741-1900. Title from cover. |
