Scottish magazine that was published from 1802 to 1929, and which contributed to the development of the modern periodical and to modern standards of literary criticism.
The Edinburgh Review was founded by Francis Jeffrey (
Jeffrey, Francis Jeffrey, Lord),
Sydney Smith (
Smith, Sydney), and Henry Brougham as a quarterly publication, with Jeffrey as its first and longtime editor. It was intended as an outlet for liberal views in Edinburgh. The magazine soon earned wide esteem for its political and literary criticism, and by 1818 it had attained a circulation of 13,500. Its contributors included the novelist Sir Walter Scott, the essayist William Hazlitt, the historian Thomas Babington Macaulay, the educator Thomas Arnold, and the legal historian Sir James Stephen.
The Edinburgh Review's prestige and authority among British periodicals during the 19th century were matched only by that of
The Quarterly Review.
