Broadway Journal

Broadway Journal (1845–46), literary paper of New York City, was founded (Jan. 4, 1845) with Poe as a contributor and one‐third owner. By July he was half owner, and by October sole owner. In the Journal he carried on his war with Longfellow and the Transcendentalists, accusing the New England poet of plagiarism, and making the paper more notorious than respectable. In it he published for the first time The Premature Burial, and reprinted many of his short stories and poems. The final issue (Jan. 2, 1846) was partly edited by T.D. English.
