Fifty Years of American Idealism: The New York Nation 1865-1915 by Gustav Pollak is a comprehensive account of the influential political and cultural magazine, The New York Nation, during its first fifty years of publication. The book explores the magazine's role in shaping American politics and society during a time of great change and upheaval, including the aftermath of the Civil War, the rise of industrialism, and the emergence of new social and political movements.The author provides a detailed history of the magazine, its founding by Edwin L. Godkin in 1865, and its evolution under the leadership of other notable figures such as Henry Villard, Oswald Garrison Villard, and Paul Elmer More. Pollak examines The New York Nation's editorial stance on a wide range of issues, including civil rights, labor rights, women's suffrage, and foreign policy, and how it influenced public opinion and policy debates.The book also delves into the magazine's cultural impact, including its promotion of literary and artistic movements such as realism and naturalism, and its role in fostering intellectual debate and dialogue among leading thinkers of the day.Overall, Fifty Years of American Idealism: The New York Nation 1865-1915 provides a fascinating look at the history of one of America's most influential magazines and its impact on the country's political and cultural landscape during a critical period of its development.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
