"In this study, Mark Parker proposes that literary magazines should be an object of study in their own right. He argues that magazines such as the London Magazine, Blackwood’s Edinburgh Magazine, and the New Monthly Magazine, offered an innovative and collaborative space for writers and their work, indeed, magazines became one of the preeminent literary forms of the 1820s and 1830s. Examiningthe dynamic relationship between literature and culture which evolved within this context, Literary Magazines and British Romanticism claims that writing in such a setting enters into a variety of alliances with other contributions and with ongoing institutional concernsthat give subtle inflection to its meaning. The book provides the only extended treatment of Lamb’s Elia essays, Hazlitt’s Table-Talk essays, “Noctes Ambrosianae,” and Carlyle’s Sartor Resartus in their original contexts, and should be of interest to scholars of culturaland literary studies as well as Romanticists."

"William Walker's original analysis of John Locke's An Essay Concerning Human Understanding offers a challenging and provocative assessment of Locke's importance as a thinker, bridging the gap between philosophical and literary-critical discussion of his work. He presents Locke as a foundational figure who defines the epistemological and ontological ground on which eighteenth-century and Romantic literature operate and eventually diverge. He is revealed as a crucial figure for emerging modernity, less the familiar empiricist innovator and more the proto-Nietzschean thinker whose text fosters hitherto unsuspected instabilities and promotes a new kind of rhetorical force to counterbalance them. Walker's reading of Locke is at once finely attentive to the text and engagingly resourceful in placing the Essay in its broadest philosophical and historical context."
