978-1-4744-4813-0 (ISBN)
An introduction by two established scholars that articulates a case for the more sustained, systematic study of Romantic periodicals and justifies the volume’s focus by retracing Blackwood’s emergence as the era’s most innovative, influential and controversial literary magazine.Features eleven essays modelling how the wide-ranging commentary, reviews and original fiction and verse published in Blackwood’s during its first two decades (1817–37) might meaningfully inform many of the most vibrant contemporary discussions surrounding British Romanticism. Contributes to field-wide bicentenary celebrations and reappraisals both of Blackwood’s and the authors and works – including Shelley’s Frankenstein, Byron’s Don Juan and Keats’s Poems – whose reputations the magazine helped shape.
This book pioneers a subfield of Romantic periodical studies, distinct from its neighbours in adjacent historical periods. Eleven chapters by leading scholars in the field model the range of methodological, conceptual and literary-historical insights to be drawn from careful engagements with one of the age’s landmark literary periodicals, Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine. Engaging with the research potential unlocked by new digital resources for studying Romantic periodicals, they argue that the wide-ranging commentary, reviews and original fiction and verse published in Blackwood’s during its first two decades (1817–37) should inform many of the most vibrant contemporary discussions surrounding British Romanticism.
