ABSTRACT

Byron, Childe Harold, I-II (1812); review by ?Hewson Clarke, Scourge, III (April 1812), 305-313. The opening sentences, with their mention of Byron’s suspicion of “personal resentment” and Byron’s “abuse” in his “retaliatory” English Bards, strongly suggest that this review is the work of Hewson Clarke (see the Satirist). The reference on page 309 is to Scott’s Vision of Don Roderick (1811). The “Maeonian eagle” (p. 313) was Homer.
