Summary:

This study begins with two fatal duels as an introduction to a literary period best defined by its antagonisms. Exploring three publishing phenomena of the age; the novels of Walter Scott Byron's Don Juan, and the new literary magazines, it attempts a reconfiguration of our understanding of literary culture after Waterloo.
