Talk:The Atlantic Monthly/Volume 69/The Emerson-Thoreau correspondence

Possible interwikilinks

 * "Dial", being The Dial of Emerson and others.
 * "Margaret Fuller", "Countess Ossoli", being Margaret Fuller, Author:Sarah Margaret Fuller, and associated with the above.
 * "Old Manse", being The Old Manse
 * "ktadn", being Mount Katahdin
 * "[F. H.] Hedge", being Frederic Henry Hedge, Author:Frederick Henry Hedge
 * "Channing", being (?) William Ellery Channing (poet), Author:William Ellery Channing
 * "Peirce", in letter II, being Benjamin Peirce, Author:Benjamin Peirce ; the multiple references to Cambridge being Harvard (?)
 * "Alcott", being Amos Bronson Alcott, Author:Amos Bronson Alcott
 * "Agassiz" is of course Louis Agassiz, Author:Jean Louis Rodolphe Agassiz
 * "Lawrence" being Abbott Lawrence (re Harvard)
 * "John Bull" is of course John Bull, but later on is mentioned as just "Mr. Bull", and might confuse the drop-in reader?
 * "Briggs" being George N. Briggs
 * "Cushing" being Caleb Cushing
 * "Lane" being Charles Lane (transcendentalist)
 * "The Massachusetts Quarterly Review" is neither mentioned here, nor at WP, nor even in Emerson's WP article!

and that's just the first half of the section. Given the lack of mention of 'things' like Transcendentalism, it would be the links to the people that are mentioned that would bring alive the times and thoughts. Were someone introduced to Emerson/Thoreau from here, there would be no 'there' hinted at to go next. Shenme (talk) 01:04, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I'd support adding these. Helpful to the reader. Where there's a choice, I'd favor linking WS author pages rather than Wikipedia bios (which would then be just one more click away). Great list. Not sure I'm familiar enough with the subject matter to add specific ideas, though. -Pete (talk) 02:13, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
