The Mahogany Tree

The Mahogany Tree

"The Mahogany Tree" was a weekly ["The Cambridge Guide to Women's Writing in English", ed. Lorna Sage, Cambridge University Press, 30 Sep 1999, page 9] literary magazine published from January until December 1892.

Overview

It was started by Mildred Aldrich [http://oasis.lib.harvard.edu/oasis/deliver/~sch00001 Harvard University Library] ] , and it was supposedly 'devoted solely to the "fine arts"' [D.M.R. Bentley, "The Confederation Group of Canadian Poets, 1880-1897", University of Toronto Press, 31 Aug 2003, page 214] . As a review in "The Harvard Crimson" said, the aim was to 'give criticisms on books, pictures, music, and acting'.

Contributors comprised Philip Henry Savage, Willa Cather [Willa Cather's Collected Short Fiction, University of Nebraska Press; Rev Ed edition, 1 Nov 1970, page 578] , Ralph Adams CramD.M.R. Bentley, "The Confederation Group of Canadian Poets, 1880-1897", University of Toronto Press, 31 Aug 2003, page 334] , Louise Imogen Guiney and F. Holland Day, amongst others.
