The Open Road is Bruce Calvert's simple-living 'little magazine,' and its own pages name its milieu: Elbert Hubbard, Elizabeth Towne, William Walker Atkinson, and Horatio Dresser — the New Thought and self-culture set. It braids New Thought's language of success, 'the silence,' and opulence with a back-to-nature program of breathing culture, vegetarian diet, and nature-cure, all carried on a Whitmanesque 'open road' individualism and a recurring 'brotherhood of man' ideal. That last phrase inflates the occult panel, but it is humanitarian rather than theosophical; read plainly, the magazine is a New Thought and self-improvement organ of the simple-life movement rather than an occult one. Generated by Claude from the periodical's digitized text; a thematic reading, not a bibliographic description. |
