Description and Table of Contents

Description

The Port Folio magazine, America's first major journal of literary and political opinion, was edited by Dennie from 1801 to 1811. This study argues that the magazine's defence of classical republican values against the burgeoning Jeffersonian ideology formed a new tradition of American writing.
