Dial, The (July 1840–April 1844),quarterly magazine of literature, philosophy, and religion, was the organ of the New England Transcendentalist movement, and grew out of the informal meetings of the Transcendental Club. Although Alcott, who gave the magazine its title, thought it insufficiently transcendental, it was considered obscure by the general public, and savagely attacked by the press. Margaret Fuller, the editor, was assisted by George Ripley, but she failed to give the magazine unity, admitting many contradictory articles. Among the early contributions were Thoreau's Friendship; Emerson's The Problem and Man the Reformer; Alcott's Orphic Sayings; Miss Fuller's Goethe; Theodore Parker's German Literature; Elizabeth Peabody's Christ's Idea of Society; and writings by George Ripley, C.P. Cranch, and W.H. Channing. Emerson succeeded as editor (July 1842), and gave The Dial a more unified attitude, publishing extracts from Oriental religious writings entitled Ethnic Scriptures, his own Lectures on the Times, and further writings by W.H. Channing, Miss Fuller, Parker, Charles Lane, Jones Very, J.F. Clarke, Lowell, and C.A. Dana.

Dial, The

The Oxford Companion to American Literature | 1995 | | Copyright

Dial, The (1880–1929),monthly journal of literary criticism, was founded at Chicago as a conservative review. In 1892 it became a fortnightly, continuing the original policy until 1918, when it was moved to New York. New contributing editors, including Conrad Aiken, H.E. Stearns, Randolph Bourne, and Van Wyck Brooks, made it a radical journal of opinion, publishing such previously taboo authors as Dewey, Veblen, Laski, Beard, and R.M. Lovett. Under Scofield Thayer, after 1920, The Dial became the most distinguished literary monthly in the U.S. to champion modern artistic movements. It drew contributors from many nations and had as associates Thomas Mann, T.S. Eliot, James Stephens, and Paul Morand. It printed virtually all the distinguished authors of the period, and was noted also for its fine reproductions of modern graphic art. Marianne Moore was editor after 1926.
