Synopsis
Polyanthos. Polyanthos is a early 19th-century American periodical published from December 1805 to 1806. It presents a miscellany of biography, literary criticism, theatre commentary, poetry, science, and antiquarian anecdotes. The issue offers sketch essays on notable figures such as Dr. Belknap and Major General Israel Putnam, plus editorials and biographical notes on the theatre, including reviews of performances by Thomas Cooper and other leading actors of the day. It collects dramatic anecdotes, critical essays on drama and Shakespearean criticism, and selections on magnetism, the history of old age, and the origins of writing. The publication also reports on American and foreign theatres—from Boston, New York, Philadelphia, and Charleston—along with translations, proverbs, verse, and prose miscellany. In tone, it fuses moral instruction with entertainment, reflecting an early American engagement with European letters and a desire to cultivate a panoptic literary culture for educated readers.
