Original author: Various
"The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 11, No. 65, March, 1863" by Various is a literary magazine published during the mid-19th century. This issue includes essays and articles that reflect on various topics, particularly focusing on the nature of biography and the lives of notable figures such as Christopher North, as well as broader themes in literature, art, and politics of the time. At the start of the magazine, an insightful examination of biography is presented through reflections on Plutarch's principles of portraying human lives. The text engages in a critique of past biographers, notably contrasting the vibrant real-life character of Christopher North with a more traditional, formulaic approach to biographical writing. It explores North’s multifaceted life, describing his youthful vigor, diverse interests, and literary contributions. Ultimately, this opening portion emphasizes the significance of capturing the essence of an individual’s character and humanity rather than merely recounting a façade of achievements or a chronological timeline.
