Derek Roper is a former Senior Lecturer in the department of English Literature at the University of Sheffield. This book is a study of English literary reviewing during the fifteen years before the founding in 1802 of the Edinburgh Review, and an assessment of the reviewers' achievement. The long introductory chapter describes the aims, methods, staffing, readership, influence, and development of the five important reviews of the 1790s: The Monthly Review, Critical Review, English Review, Analytical Review, and the British Critic. The remaining chapters discuss and evaluate the work of those Reviews, chiefly in the fields of poetry, fiction, and political and religious controversy. The index contains several references to Sir Walter Scott and also to other notable Scottish writers and individuals of note. Contains substantive sections on The Edinburgh Review (per index). The third Edinburgh Review became one of the most influential British magazines of the 19th century. It promoted Romanticism and Whig politics. (It was also, however, notoriously critical of some major Romantic poetry.). Started on 10 October 1802 by Francis Jeffrey, Sydney Smith, Henry Brougham, and Francis Horner. It was published by Archibald Constable in quarterly issues until 1929. It began as a literary and political review. Under its first permanent editor, Francis Jeffrey (the first issue was edited by Sydney Smith), it was a strong supporter of the Whig party and liberal politics, and regularly called for political reform. Its main rival was the Quarterly Review which supported the Tories. The magazine was also noted for its attacks on the Lake Poets, particularly William Wordsworth. It took its Latin motto judex damnatur cum nocens absolvitur ("the judge is condemned when the guilty is acquitted") from Publilius Syrus. The magazine ceased publication in 1929.
