A long-running home for literature, politics, culture, and the arts, this historic American monthly has featured work by many major writers since the 19th century. First published in 1850, it remains one of the oldest continuously published monthly magazines in the United States.

by Various (magazine) Harper
Founded in New York in 1850 as Harper's New Monthly Magazine, this publication grew out of the Harper brothers' publishing business and became a major venue for essays, fiction, reporting, and commentary. It is widely described as the oldest continuously published monthly magazine in the United States.
Over time, the magazine built a reputation for mixing literary work with politics, culture, and public debate. Its pages have featured prominent writers across generations, and it has remained an influential part of American magazine publishing.
Because this is a magazine rather than a single named person, there is no single author biography in the usual sense. The image provided is a historical group portrait associated with the Harper brothers, whose publishing firm founded the magazine.
