ABSTRACT
The BRITISH LADY’S MAGAZINE and Monthly Miscellany was a London monthly that published two series under that title (1815–1818) and added a third series of three volumes in 1819 as New British Lady’s Magazine; or Monthly Mirror of Literature and Fashion. The publisher was John Souter. The only contributor who has been noted was Mary Lamb. The reviews in British Lady’s Magazine seem to have more substance than those in La Belle Assemblée and some other merely “fashionable” journals. Whoever exercised editorial control was aiming at more intellectual women – perhaps even the often-maligned “blue-stockings” themselves. The political bias (as the reviews of Leigh Hunt’s poems show) was liberal.
