Quarterly Review
Quarterly Review (1809–1967), was founded by John Murray as a Tory rival to the Whig Edinburgh Review. Sir W. Scott, who had been harshly reviewed in the Edinburgh, became an ardent supporter of the venture. The journal stood, politically, for the defence of the established order, Church, and Crown. The first editor, Gifford, brought with him several clever writers from the Anti-Jacobin, including Canning and Frere. The Quarterly, unlike the Edinburgh, supported the ‘Lake School’ and Byron, although it fiercely condemned Keats, Hunt, Hazlitt, Lamb, Shelley, and later Tennyson, Macaulay, Dickens and C. Brontë. Two of its more famous early articles were those of Scott in praise of J. Austen's Emma; and a review of Keats's ‘Endymion’, by J. W. Croker, which, according to the poet's friends, hastened Keats's death. Gifford was succeeded as editor in 1825 by Lockhart, who was in his turn followed by a distinguished line, including members of the Murray family. In the second half of the 19th cent. the Quarterly published the work of many notable writers and critics, including Bulwer-Lytton, Thackeray, Martineau, Borrow, M. Arnold, and Swinburne.

Quarterly Review
Quarterly Review. This was the Tory riposte to the very successful Edinburgh Review, which had been launched in 1802. It was started in 1809 by Sir Walter Scott, George Ellis, and John Wilson Croker, with William Gifford as editor. The early contributors included Canning and Robert Southey. By the middle of the century the taste for magisterial, learned, and lengthy reviews was beginning to decline.
