American Review of Reviews, Volume 41, January-June, 1910. The American Review of Reviews was edited by the American academic, journalist, and reformer, Albert Shaw.
Published from New York, The American Review of Reviews ran simultaneously alongside its British counterpart. As such, it represented the views and concerns of participants in the trans-Atlantic culture of progressive reform. (Shaw was part of the first generation of academic reformers, which included Woodrow Wilson (who was his classmate at Johns Hopkins University).
Along with the dozens of magazine and book reviews it contained, it also included a running commentary of world events entitled, "The Progress of the World", and a character sketch of a current "celebrity", a review of New Books, caricatures. etc. There is a comprehensive Index.
The American Review of Reviews is one of the best primary sources on American reform between 1890 and 1920, providing not only a panoramic view of the range of reformers' interests, but also the ties between British and American progressives. By volume 3, however, its style had departed significantly from that of its British cousin.
The Review of Reviews was a noted family of monthly journals founded in 1890-93 by British reform journalist William Thomas Stead (1849–1912).
He eventually established across three continents in London (1891), New York (1892) and Melbourne (1893), the Review of Reviews, American Review of Reviews and Australasian Review of Reviews.
The American Review of Reviews ran until 1937, when it merged into The Literary Digest.
