Sommario/riassunto

The first scholarly treatment of the life of William Maginn, David Latané's meticulously researched biography follows Maginn's life from his early days in Ireland through his career in Paris and London as political journalist, editor and writer and finally to his sad decline and incarceration in debtor's prison. His book is essential reading for nineteenth-century scholars, historians of the book and periodical, and anyone interested in questions of authorship in the period.
