The
Athenaeum, a weekly literary review, was founded by James
Silk Buckingham in 1822. The journal was particularly successful under
the editorship of Charles Wentworth Dilke
(1830-1846). Contributors in the 19th century included Robert
Browning, Thomas Carlyle and Charles
Lamb.
John Middleton Murry became editor in 1919
and he published the work of Bertrand Russell,
Aldous Huxley and Katherine
Mansfield. In 1921 The Athenaeum
merged with the Nation and was finally
absorbed by the New Statesman
in 1931.
