The Metropolitan Magazine
The Metropolitan: A monthly journal of literature, science, and the fine arts was a London monthly journal founded by Thomas Campbell, which began publication in May 1831.[1]
Campbell and Cyrus Redding were the first editors of the Metropolitan. Frederick Marryat became editor in 1832. From vol. 6 (1833) onwards the magazine went under the name The Metropolitan Magazine. Marryat appointed the novelist Edward Howard (1793–1841) as a sub-editor in 1833: Howard serialized his semi-autobiographical Life of a Sub-Editor in the Metropolitan in 1834.[2] Though Marryat resigned the editorship in 1835, he kept a connection with the Metropolitan for another year.[3]
Contributors included the poet Maria Abdy (c. 1800–1867), the novelist and poet Isa Blagden (1816/17 – 1873), Eliza Cook, Antonio Gallenga, the mesmerist Spencer Timothy Hall (1812 – 1885), Hargrave Jennings (1817? – 1890), the philosopher Thomas Charles Morgan (c. 1780–1843), and the poet and novelist Annie Tinsley (1808–1885).[2] Frederick Crouch, musician and composer (1808–1896), was the music reviewer until he emigrated to the United States in 1849.[4] The magazine ceased publication in 1850.[1]
