St. Nicholas is acknowledged to be the best children's magazine
published, particularly during the reign of its founding editor,
Mary Mapes Dodge. From 1873 to 1905, Dodge worked to create what
she called a ""pleasure ground"" for children - a magazine that
would have great impact on several generations of children. The
list of authors who wrote for her includes Louisa May Alcott,
Frances Hodgson Burnett, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Rudyard
Kipling, Theodore Roosevelt, and Mark Twain. The quality of the
magazine's illustration was equally high. The magazine was also the
launching pad for a new generation of authors and artists, such as
F. Scott Fitzgerald, E. B. White, Jack London, and Eudora Welty.
This anthology of critical writing on St. Nicholas includes the
most influential articles already published and newly commissioned
essays on a variety of subjects, including the impact of the St.
Nicholas league, the utopian thrust of the magazine's fiction, and
how Dodge persuaded Kipling to become a children's writer. Essays
also analyze Dodge's relationship with her readers, her editorial
practice, the illustrations, American family life as seen by young
British readers, war and military life, advertising, and the middle
class preoccupation with ""change of fortune"" tales. The work
places St. Nicholas in American cultural history, and analyzes how
it both influenced and was influenced over thirty years. Essential
documentary material presently unpublished or inaccessible and
illustrations from the magazine are also included.
