The Mahogany Tree was a weekly[1] literary magazine published from January until December 1892. The magazine was based in Boston.[2]
Overview
[edit | edit source]The magazine was started by Mildred Aldrich,[3] and it was supposedly "devoted solely to the 'fine arts'."[4] According to a review in The Harvard Crimson its aim was to "give criticisms on books, pictures, music, and acting."[3] It has since been described as "one of the first forums for decadent-aesthetic ideas in the United States."[5]
Contributors comprised Philip Henry Savage, Ralph Adams Cram,[6] Louise Imogen Guiney[6] and F. Holland Day,[6] amongst others. The magazine was the first to publish the work of Willa Cather.[5][7]
