ABSTRACT

Byron, Marino Faliero (1821); Literary Gazette, April 28, 1821, pp. 259–263; May 5, 1821, pp. 277–279. The reviewer—obviously involved in the management of the Literary Gazette—seems as upset by Byron’s allusion to Galignani’s Literary Gazette of Paris as by the limitations of Marino Faliero. The critic finds the play prosy and derivative from Otway and others. The second article on “The Prophecy of Dante” shows again that the Literary Gazette was not doctrinaire and could praise as well as attack poets of the other party.
