ABSTRACT
Byron, The Siege of Corinth [and] Parisina (1816); review by Josiah Conder, Eclectic Review, 2nd Series, V (March 1816), 269–275. The “contemporary writer” mentioned on page 274 as treating incest more fully was Leigh Hunt in The Story of Rimini. (See the Eclectic’s review of that poem in another volume of this edition.) The hopeful final sentence of this review, taking notice of Byron’s marriage, seems ironic when set beside the Eclectic’s next review of Byron.
