Summary "The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 06, No. 34, August, 1860" by Various is a periodical publication from the mid-19th century. As a magazine of literature, art, and politics, it showcases various essays and discussions reflective of the intellectual and cultural climates of its time. The opening portion appears to engage readers with a profound exploration of the evolution of literature, specifically the rise of the novel in the context of historical literary forms. The opening of this volume presents a rich and metaphorical narrative that personifies the nine Muses as they reflect upon the development of human creativity and literature from classical times through the early modern period. As they wander through various notable locales associated with literary greatness, the Muses observe the contrasting styles and themes of early medieval literature, and express a growing disdain for the modern novel, characterizing it as lacking the artistic rigor found in classical works. This dialogue between the Muses serves as a commentary on the state of contemporary literature, suggesting a tension between tradition and innovation as they critique the novel's perceived shortcomings while recognizing the complexity of human expression that continues to evolve.
