ABSTRACT
The MONTHLY REPOSITORY OF THEOLOGY AND GENERAL LITERATURE (1806–1837) became truly influential only after the heyday of the major Romantics in its second series (1826–1837), when the editors were William Johnson Fox (1786–1864), Richard Hengist Home, and (at its demise) Leigh Hunt. The editor of the first series (1806–1826) was Robert Aspland (1782–1845). During this period the Repository was the official organ of the Unitarians, who were generally liberal in their political as well as their theological outlook. See Francis E. Mineka, The Dissidence of Dissent: The Monthly Repository, 1806–1838 (1944).
