College and Research Libraries 374 College & Research Libraries Chielens' introduction, aside from the contorted explanation of editorial choices, is an interesting and enlightening brief es- say on the history and significance of liter- ary magazines in America during the pe- riod. The profiles are uniformly well researched, well written, and synthesize a large body of disparate information on the ninety-two journals covered-a consider- able accomplishment given the number of contributors (fifty-three) and the variety of experience among them (they range in such experience from students pursuing graduate degrees to established scholars with numerous publications to their credit). The notes and bibliographies ap- pended to each profile provide a valuable and readily accessible starting point for anyone researching the profiled journals more extensively. No other source cur- rently available provides the chronologi- cal scope and focus on literary journals that this one attempts, and, until a more comprehensive work is undertaken, this work and its anticipated companion will undoubtedly prove, in conjunction with July 1988 Mott' s History of American Magazines, to be valuable sources of information as well as tools for further research on American lit- erary magazines. I have one last quibble concerning ar- rangement. The profiles are presented in alphabetical order, which assists in locat- ing specific titles. However, a chronologi- cal arrangement might have proven more interesting, and an alphabetical table of contents would have provided access to individual titles. An appendix, "A Chro- nology of Social and Literary Events and American Literary Magazines, 1774- 1900," somewhat ameliorates this situa- tion. However, nothing relieves the frus- tration ensuing from the chronological ar- rangement of the list of ''Minor Literary Magazines and Nonliterary Magazines with Literary Contents." The user must scan the list in search of specific titles-a process made more difficult the absence of references in the index.-Dale Manning, Jean & Alexander Heard Library, Vanderbilt University, Nashville, Tenn.
