A History of American Magazines is a 5-volume set of nonfiction books by Frank Luther Mott. Volumes II and III of the set won the 1939 Pulitzer Prize for History.^[1]^[2]^[3] The first volume was published in 1930,^[4] and the fifth volume was published posthumously in 1968.^[5]

Mott laid out the case for studying American periodicals in the introduction to the first volume. He believed that magazines provide three services, including providing democratic literature of high quality, playing an important part in the economics of literature, and furnishing "an invaluable contemporaneous history of their times."^[6]

The volumes include:

A History of American Magazines, Volume I, 1741-1850^[7]
A History of American Magazines, Volume II, 1850-1865
A History of American Magazines, Volume III, 1865-1885
