ABSTRACT
Byron, The Giaour (1813); Reasoner, I (Oct. 1813), 250-255. The reviewer wears his smattering of learning rather ostentatiously, equating as he does the Rosacrucians, Jesuits, and Methodists and referring to Charles Caleb Colton (?1780-1832) as a “confessedly great poet of the day” (p. 251). It stretches the imagination to conceive how The Giaour can be said to represent “the spirit of modern Platonism” (p. 252).
