Selecting journals that speak for a very large number of topics
addressed by the conservative press, this volume profiles selected
conservative journals published since 1787. The conservative press
has scarcely spoken with a single voice, whether the topics treated
or even the time inhabited are the same or different. Yet, these
journals testify to the persistent vigor and importance of
conservatism. Together they provide a focused survey of the history
of American conservative thought from the late 18th Century to the
late 19th Century. Along with the companion volume covering the
20th Century conservative press, the book provides an important
resource on conservative thought in America.
Despite the disparities in conservative intellectual thought,
the journals covered, even the more idiosyncratic and extreme, are
connected by their core values of conservatism. The book is
organized into sections reflecting these connections. The first
section covers journals associated with Federal, Whig, or, in the
Civil War era, Northern Democratic political interests. A later
section includes journals sharing an attachment to Southern
conservative values during the antebellum and Reconstruction
periods. Two sections deal, respectively, with 19th Century
Orthodox Protestant periodicals and 19th Century Catholic and
Episcopal journals, and yet another section discusses journals
united by a major focus on literary topics and cultural
connections.
