ABSTRACT
Unsigned review attributed to Roberts (1767–1849), barrister and editor of the British Review (Arthur Roberts, The Life, Letters, and Opinions of William Roberts, London 1850, 56–7). R.C.Maturin’s Bertram, or the Castle of St. Aldobrand was included in the review—a fact worth noting if only because of Coleridge’s harsh discussion of the play (later incorporated into Biographia Literaria), which appeared in the Courier of 29 August, and 7, 9, 10 and 11 September 1816.
