Review
?Edited by a specialist in contemporary British literature, the 108 signed critiques are primarily by academicians from the US and other parts of the English-speaking world. Each of the profiles includes information such as location sources, reprint editions, title changes, frequency, editors, and publishers. In addition, there are useful appendixes (e.g., Magazines with Short Runs' and Scottish Literary Magazines') and a detailed index. Excellent in its conception and scope, this reference book would support the research of a wide range of scholars of English literature on the graduate and undergraduate levels.?-Choice

Product Description
Volume two of British Literary Magazines begins its coverage at the dawn of the Romantic Age, when the publication of Blake's Songs of Innocence signalled the change of an era. Its coverage extends beyond what some scholars consider the end of the Romantic Age (1798 and the publication of Lyrical Ballads) and includes periodicals published through the date of Queen Victoria's accession to the British throne in 1837. Volume two includes historical essays, publication details, and bibliographic sources for eighty-five reviews, journals, illustrated magazines, and periodicals available during the period.
