This extensive collection showcases a substantial body of E.S. Dallass journalism in The Times. While his reviews played a pivotal role in establishing the literary reputations of emerging writers like George Eliot and Mary Elizabeth Braddon, as well as in reshaping the reception of established authors like Tennyson and Dickens, Eneas Sweetland Dallas (1827-79) remains arguably the most unjustly neglected of mid-Victorian critics. Although Dallas contributed to numerous other periodicals, it is his reviews in The Times that had the most profound impact on the book market and literary culture during the mid-Victorian era. This collection brings together an anthology of his contributions, accompanied by a newly written introduction, a comprehensive listing of the articles he submitted to The Times, critical apparatus to provide contextualization, and a detailed chronology, offering a fresh perspective on Dallas' biography. This volume holds immense appeal to students and scholars of literary history.
