ABSTRACT
[Byron] Don Juan, I-II (1819), III-V (1821); Edinburgh [Scots] Magazine, 2nd Series, IX (Aug. 1821), 105*-108*. This review, taking up where that on Mazeppa left off two years earlier, exhibits a bitterness toward Byron and John Murray not evident in any of the reviews before that of Mazeppa. These two pieces are presented as essays by an outside contributor. Isaac D’Israeli’s Curiosities of Literature (p. 106*) was published by Murray, with whom he had close connections.
