Routledge The Examiner, 1813-1817, Part II

The second of a series of three sets, this work traces the journal, "The Examiner" between the years 1813-1817. During these years it was transformed from a primarily political journal into an outspoken organ of literary criticism. Review 'All Romanticists and early-nineteenth century specialists will no doubt welcome the second set of facsimile reproductions of John and Leigh Hunt's famous periodical The Examiner. Published by Pickering & Chatto, with an introduction by Yasuo Degushi, The Examiner, 1813-1817 five volume set contains some of Hunt's most important contributions to this weekly. This set was designed for libraries, and provides them with an inexpensive alternative to acquiring the few rare surviving copies of The Examiner.' - Michael Eberle-Sinatra, Wordsworth Circle 'It is an immensely valuable achievement to have saved this indispensable record from decay. Now that the published volumes cover all the years of Hunt's editorship to 1822 we can expect new studies of his work. Every institution where Romanticism is studied seriously should possess this work.' - Chris Jones, British Association for Romantic Studies Bulletin ' Whether inclined to subscribe to or proscribe it, you could not ignore The Examiner in the 1810s. And now, with Pickering & Chatto's invaluable reprint of its first fifteen years, 1808-1822, it is once again possible to understand why, week after week, The Examiner was and is the indispensable index of the political and literary culture of Regency England... Pickering & Chatto's impressively legible reprint (made from the Cambridge University Library set) has already begun to provide scholars of Romantic studies with a timely opportunity to recalibrate their understanding of "political Romanticism"' - Charles Mahoney, Romantic Circles
