Book Description
Publisher description: Quarterly reviewing represented the pinnacle of journalistic activity in the early Victorian period. Under the guise of book review, leading writers presented and debated their views on all important subjects from literature, history and fine arts to science, economics and political affairs. The two main quarterlies were aligned with the two major political parties: the Edinburgh Review with the Whigs and the Quarterly Review with the Tories. This book explores the day to day operations of the Reviews, the extended rivalry between them, the recruiting of reviewers, and the writing of review articles. Through extensive use of archival sources, this book documents the important influence of these quarterlies on their times.

Book Description
The reception of an author by literary critics reveals much of the contemporary 'Zeitgeist'. A rich body of material is contained in critical articles published in literary journals which present a wide range of opinions not only on the author but also on political and social issues. The period of Goethe's early reception coincided with profound political and social changes throughout Europe. One of the consequences were significant changes in the quality and number of literary journals which were eagerly read by the emerging middle classes. During the evaluation of the review material for the years 1779 to 1855 certain types of response began to emerge as predominant at certain periods usually centering around an outstanding critic or publication. For many years Goethe was almost exclusively known as the «apologist for suicide» until ultimately, during the Victorian period, he came to be acknowledged as «Europe's sagest head».
