Summary "The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 04, No. 24, October, 1859" by Various is a magazine of literature, art, and politics published during the mid-19th century. The content features a rich mixture of essays, poetry, and discussions on various topics, reflecting the intellectual climate of its time with a focus on beauty, culture, and social issues. The opening of this volume presents an engaging dialogue between two friends, Stanford Grey and Daniel Tomes, who explore the meaning of beauty as discussed in Shakespeare's Othello. Their conversation delves into the concept of 'daily beauty' as it relates to character and appearance, comparing the honorable traits of Cassio to the moral ugliness of Iago. As they argue, the scene is vividly set in Grey's cluttered study, filled with books and art, symbolizing their intellectual pursuits. Their discussion touches on the broader theme of aesthetic values, probing into how beauty is perceived in life, art, and society. The dialogue introduces the reader not just to literary references, but also to the social dynamics and pressures of the time, hinting at a rich exploration of culture throughout the magazine.
