ABSTRACT

[Byron] Don Juan, I–II (1819); Literary Gazette, July 17, 1819, pp. 449–451; July 24, 1819, pp. 470–473. The reviewer for the Literary Gazette, like the Blackwood’s coterie, admired Don Juan and the talent displayed in it more than his Tory principles would let him admit. Note the references (p. 451) to the haste with which the reviewer must write and to the charge of corruption against the British Review (q.v.).
