- Title
MAGAZINES, PRESENTATION NETWORKS, AND THE CULTIVATION OF AUTHORSHIP IN POST-REVOLUTIONARY AMERICA.
- Authors
Haberman, Robb K.
- Abstract
The article explores how magazine contributions nurtured authorial reputation in late 18th century America. It is said that scholars have viewed magazines from a perspective of cultural isolation, to which they were fundamental to the development of literary culture in the post-Revolutionary era. It examines two cases of aspiring literati which include that of Richard B. Davis and that of Benjamin Bridge. Moreover, Davis and Bridge highlights the impact of locality and proximity to literary networks in determining the importance of their periodical publications. Lastly, it asserts that presentation works were more influential in determining authorial reputation than any individual work by an author.
