Abstract:The book review is a mercurial mode. Is it a genre, a form, or a techne? Is the review so capacious in expression and function that it discourages efforts to talk about it in general terms? Is it as a textual object separable from the act of reviewing; that is, does the noun always imply the verb? How do we navigate the range of affordances that attach to reviewing as a process, a profession, an act of production? This introduction to a special issue on the book review in the nineteenth-century addresses these questions to expand our knowledge of reviewing culture and offer conceptual frameworks for studying reviews.

Abstract:This article builds on the etymological roots of the term “review” to explore the idea of the review as a re-view and to examine its metaphorical implications and fictional potential. Drawing on the German author and playwright August von Kotzebue, who had featured prominently on the British stage before he was assassinated in 1819, this article discusses Kotzebue’s onymous weekly Literarisches Wochenblatt, the pseudonymous literary mystification of epistolary reviews from the underworld, and anonymous reviews of Kotzebue’s biography in the British press as three modes of critical communication.
摘要:本文从“评论”一词的词源出发，探讨了“评论”作为一种“评论”的概念，并考察了它的隐喻含义和虚构潜力。德国作家和剧作家奥古斯特·冯·科策布(August von Kotzebue)在1819年被暗杀之前曾在英国舞台上占据突出地位，本文以科策布的同名周刊《文学》(Literarisches Wochenblatt)、对黑社会书信评论的笔名文学神秘化以及英国新闻界对科策布传记的匿名评论为例，讨论了三种批判性交流模式。

Abstract:This essay examines the Calcutta-based Mookerjee’s Magazine (1861, 1872–76) as a case to examine shifts in the review function in Indian-edited magazines in the last quarter of the nineteenth century. In the anti-colonial nation-making that swept over much of the Indian subcontinent, book reviews were pressed into the role of producing indigenous histories. The turn to history altered the book review, which morphed from a review of books into a general review—or overview—of an historical moment.

Abstract:After Margaret Oliphant referred to Mary Elizabeth Braddon as the leader of the bigamy school of fiction in an 1867 Blackwood’s review, Braddon commissioned George Augustus Sala to write a riposte for her magazine, Belgravia. Scholars have explored the effect of Oliphant’s criticism on Braddon and Belgravia, but little attention has been paid to the fact that Oliphant responded directly to Sala’s accusations in her subsequent review articles in Blackwood’s. Taking the Braddon-Sala affair as a turning point in Oliphant’s literary criticism, this essay examines Oliphant’s review articles of the 1870s to demonstrate how the debate over sensation influenced her critical ethics.

Abstract:This article examines nonprofessional book reviews in journals aimed at two traditional professional fields: medicine and the military. The review columns of the Lancet, British Medical Journal, Medical Press and Circular, United Service Journal, the Broad Arrow, and the United Service Gazette covered a surprisingly diverse range of subjects, including fiction, travel writing, history, and the arts. These reviews demonstrate the broad range of content within professional journals and the blurred boundaries between professional life and genteel culture in this period. Ultimately, book reviews played an instrumental role in the formation of professional identity and helped build imagined communities.
