ABSTRACT
Byron, Manfred (1817); review by Francis Jeffrey, Edinburgh Review, XXVIII (Aug. 1817), 418–431. “The Edinburgh Review,” wrote Shelley to Byron, “praises ‘Manfred’ excessively, yet far less than it deserves; because their praise, though unbounded, is studied and cold.” Note Jeffrey’s comparison of Manfred with the Prometheus of Aeschylus (p. 431).
