The Bookman (New York)

From open-encyclopedia.com - the free encyclopedia.

The Bookman was a book review owned by the George H. Doran company of New York, and edited by Arthur Bartlett Maurice (1873-1946) from 1899 to 1916 , and John Chipman Farrar (1896 - 1974).

In 1927 it was purchased and then edited by Seward Collins, who continued it until 1933, when it was succeeded by The American Review (1933-1937).

Under the Collins editorship it carried articles in direction conforming to his conservative views, influenced by Irving Babbitt. It promoted a number of points of view, including humanism and distributism. Collins himself was moving towards a far-right and fascist position at the period.
