A sourcebook for numerous Romantics reviews and providing an evangelical-literary viewpoint in Victorian periodicals, this text contains 23 volumes of "The British Review" and "London Critical Journal". Begun in 1811, the "British Review" viewed itself as fulfilling the roles neglected by the "Edinburgh Review" and the "Quarterly Review". Although religious and moral ideas were in mind, the greater purpose was to survey new publications in a variety of disciplines. This it did in its 530 articles on the principal interests of belles lettres, theology, politics, accounts of travel, and biography. In attempting to infuse literary criticism with evangelism, the periodical caused its own demise, as noted by its sister journal, the "Christian Observer". Wordsworth was approved of, as was Joanna Baillie, William Cowper, Henry Milman and Hannah More. The "rogues gallery" included Rosseau, Voltaire, Hazlitt, Thomas Moore, and most notably, Lord Byron. Byron's rise to fame was almost exactly contemporaneous with the 14-year span of the "British Review", which devoted more than 225 pages of criticism to his works.
The unsigned reviews are believed to have been by the editor of the journal, William Roberts, who wrote perhaps 15 reviews of Byron's works between 1812 and 1822. The moral qualities of Byron's Romantic heroes were against the taste of the journal, and in its last few years the reviews turned more towards religious reviewing, and in November 1825 it concluded publication without explanation.
