Summary:

Here for the first time we have the full story of the early, most significant years of one of the influential nineteenth-century reviews, approached through the work of its editor, Francis Jeffrey, and of his chief contributors: Francis Horner, Sydney Smith, and Henry Brougham. John Clive examines the views of the Review concerning politics, literature, social and economic problems to show how the world as a whole appeared, seen through certain Whiggish glasses in the opening years of the nineteenth century. Relying extensively on both published and unpublished correspondence, he goes beyond mere summary of articles to a behind-the-scenes view of how the Review was edited.-- Provided by publisher.
