"The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 08, No. 47, September, 1861" by Various is a historical magazine compilation from the mid-19th century. This volume features a range of literary, artistic, and political discussions reflective of the cultural and intellectual climate of the time, capturing the essence of a period marked by profound social change and unrest, notably during the American Civil War. In particular, one prominent piece within explores the controversial "Shakespeare Mystery," where the text provides critical insights into the authenticity and authority of text corrections proposed by J. Payne Collier regarding Shakespeare's works. The opening of this volume delves into the uproar and debates surrounding Collier's manuscript notes and proposed revisions to Shakespeare's plays, which sparked heated discussions among literary scholars. It chronicles the backlash against Collier's claims, highlighting the contentious exchanges between critics and supporters, and delves into the methodologies used to validate these textual alterations. As readers dive into this intriguing discourse, they encounter a wealth of evidence, both supporting and opposing the legitimacy of these corrections, ultimately leading to broader themes of trust, integrity, and the value of literary scholarship in an era rife with personal and professional rivalries.
