The Atlantic
Now celebrating 150 years in print, The Atlantic is arguably the most influential magazine in American history. Founded in Boston in 1857 by Ralph Waldo Emerson and Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, The Atlantic has a long and storied past of discovering now renowned authors and publishing exceptional literary works — from Mark Twain's Old Times on the Mississippi in 1875 to Martin Luther King, Jr.'s "Letter from a Birmingham Jail" in 1963 to James Fallows' "The Fifty-First State?" in 2003. |  |
