Blackwood's Magazine (1817–1980), or ‘the Maga’, was an innovating monthly periodical begun by W.
Blackwood as a Tory rival to the Whiggish
Edinburgh Review. It began in April 1817 as the
Edinburgh Monthly Magazine and in October that year continued as
Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine until Dec. 1905; from Jan. 1906 onwards it became
Blackwood's Magazine. The first editors were shortly replaced by
Lockhart, John
Wilson, and J.
Hogg, who gave the ‘Maga’ its forceful partisan tone. Its notoriety was early established with the publication in 1817 of the so-called
Chaldee MS, in which many leading Edinburgh figures were pilloried; and with the beginning, also in 1817, of the long series of attacks on the ‘
Cockney School of Poetry’, directed chiefly against Leigh
Hunt,
Keats, and
Hazlitt.
Blackwood's gave considerable support to
Wordsworth,
Shelley,
De Quincey,
Mackenzie,
Galt, Sir W.
Scott, and others, and published the popular series
Noctes Ambrosianae.
