Literate Lifetime
"Today a reader, tomorrow a leader." -- W. Fusselman
Clark, Lewis GaylordWe have 3 books for this author.Lewis Gaylord Clark (1810-73) was an American editor, born in Otisco, N. Y. For 25 years (1834-59) he edited in New York City, the Knickerbocker Magazine, which, by contributions from such writers as Irving, Bryant, Willis, and Longfellow, and by his own departments, the "Editors Table" and "Gossip with Readers and Correspondents," he made it the leading American literary publication of the time. Pecuniary distress caused its discontinuance in 1859, and Clark removed to Piermont, N. Y., where he lived in a residence presented by former contributors to his magazine, who raised the necessary funds in part by publishing a volume of their contributions, under the title The Knickerbocker Gallery. He published the Knickerbocker Sketch-Book (1850), including some of his own essays, and Knick-Knacks from an Editor's Table (1852). During his career, Clark made an enemy of fellow editor and author Edgar Allan Poe. The two traded insults in their respective magazines.[1] References
