Byron, Sardanapalus [etc.]

Byron Sardanapalus [etc.] (1821); Literary Chronicle, Dec. 22, 1821, pp. 799–802; Dec. 29, 1821, pp. 815–817; Jan. 5, 1822, pp. 6–8. The liberal viewpoint of the reviewer is apparent from his comments on Byron’s answer to his opponents, including Southey (pp. 495–496). The successive reviews of Sardanapalus, The Two Foscari, and Cain are largely confined to plot summary and excerpts.
