ABSTRACT

Hunt, Story of Rimini (1816); review by ?Francis Jeffrey (or ?William Hazlitt), Edinburgh Review, XXVI (June 1816), 476-491. This review is conventionally attributed to Jeffrey by default, but though it follows the editor’s penchant for summary, it has a few sentences that sound strongly like the work of William Hazlitt (e.g., the last full sentence on p. 482), and the opinions expressed in this review correspond almost exactly to the opinion of Rimini that Hazlitt expressed elsewhere.
