ABSTRACT

Hazlitt, Lectures … Dramatic Literature of the Age of Elizabeth (1820); Charles Lloyd, Isabel (1810), and Shelley, The Cenci (1819); review by Leigh Hunt, Examiner, March 19, 1820, pp. 190–191. After apologizing for his neglect of literary notices, Hunt groups three works by personal friends. Charles Lloyd (1775–1839), whose poems had been published along with those of Charles Lamb in the second edition of Coleridge’s Poems (1797), had been intermittently insane since 1811 or 1812, and was at this period living in London under Lamb’s care. Hunt decided to include his more extended remarks on Shelley’s Cenci (which was dedicated to him) in the Indicator, his other journal at this period (q.v.).
