ABSTRACT
Byron, The Corsair (1814); Theatrical Inquisitor, IV (Feb. 1814), 105–108. “H.,” the unidentified reviewer in this series, is patently of the old, eighteenth-century school that valued “assiduous study of the best models” (p. 106) over originality and polished correctness over daring imagery. He also shows his Augustan decorum in his personal remarks on Byron at the end of the review.
