Romantic periodicals in the twenty-first century : eleven case studies from Blackwood's Edinburgh magazine

## Maps a coherent subfield of Romantic periodical studies through studying the trailblazing __Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine__ * An introduction by two established scholars that articulates a case for the more sustained, systematic study of Romantic periodicals and justifies the volume’s focus by retracing __Blackwood’s__ emergence as the era’s most innovative, influential and controversial literary magazine. * Features eleven essays modelling how the wide-ranging commentary, reviews and original fiction and verse published in __Blackwood’s__ during its first two decades (1817–37) might meaningfully inform many of the most vibrant contemporary discussions surrounding British Romanticism. * Contributes to field-wide bicentenary celebrations and reappraisals both of __Blackwood’s__ and the authors and works – including Shelley’s __Frankenstein__, Byron’s __Don Juan__ and Keats’s Poems – whose reputations the magazine helped shape. This book pioneers a subfield of Romantic periodical studies, distinct from its neighbours in adjacent historical periods. Eleven chapters by leading scholars in the field model the range of methodological, conceptual and literary-historical insights to be drawn from careful engagements with one of the age’s landmark literary periodicals, __Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine.__ Engaging with the research potential unlocked by new digital resources for studying Romantic periodicals, they argue that the wide-ranging commentary, reviews and original fiction and verse published in Blackwood’s during its first two decades (1817–37) should inform many of the most vibrant contemporary discussions surrounding British Romanticism.
