...white-hot antislavery editorials, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow and John Greenleaf Whittier contributed poetry, and Oliver Wendell Holmes, who had given the Atlantic its name, wrote The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table. The Atlantic, long famed for its fiction, has "enjoyed a perpetual state of literary grace," as Professor Frank Luther Mott once noted. When Boston started fading as literary hub of the U.S., the magazine introduced its readers to such diverse talents as Bret Harte and Kipling, Mark Twain and Henry James...
