It was founded by the <a href="/wiki/Publisher" class="mw-redirect" title="Publisher">publisher</a> <a href="/wiki/William_Blackwood" title="William Blackwood">William Blackwood</a> and was originally called the <i>Edinburgh Monthly Magazine</i>. The first number appeared in April 1817 under the editorship of <a href="/wiki/Thomas_Pringle" title="Thomas Pringle">Thomas Pringle</a> and James Cleghorn. The journal was unsuccessful and Blackwood fired Pringle and Cleghorn and relaunched the journal as <i><b>Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine</b></i> under his own editorship. The journal eventually adopted the shorter name and from the relaunch often referred to itself as <i><b>Maga</b></i>. The title page bore the image of <a href="/wiki/George_Buchanan_(humanist)" class="mw-redirect" title="George Buchanan (humanist)">George Buchanan</a>, a 16th-century Scottish historian, religious and political thinker. </p> <meta property="mw:PageProp/toc" /> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Description">Description</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Blackwood%27s_Magazine&action=edit&section=1" title="Edit section: Description"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p><i>Blackwood's</i> was conceived as a rival to the <a href="/wiki/British_Whig_Party" class="mw-redirect" title="British Whig Party">Whig</a>-supporting <i><a href="/wiki/Edinburgh_Review" title="Edinburgh Review">Edinburgh Review</a>.</i> Compared to the rather staid tone of <i><a href="/wiki/The_Quarterly_Review" class="mw-redirect" title="The Quarterly Review">The Quarterly Review</a></i>, the other main <a href="/wiki/Tory" title="Tory">Tory</a> work, <i>Maga</i> was ferocious and combative. This is due primarily to the work of its principal writer <a href="/wiki/John_Wilson_(Scottish_writer)" title="John Wilson (Scottish writer)">John Wilson</a>, who wrote under the <a href="/wiki/Pseudonym" title="Pseudonym">pseudonym</a> of Christopher North. Never trusted with the editorship, he nevertheless wrote much of the magazine along with the other major contributors <a href="/wiki/John_Gibson_Lockhart" title="John Gibson Lockhart">John Gibson Lockhart</a> and <a href="/wiki/William_Maginn" title="William Maginn">William Maginn</a>. Their mixture of satire, reviews and criticism both barbed and insightful was extremely popular and the magazine quickly gained a large audience. </p><p>For all its conservative credentials the magazine published the works of radicals of British <a href="/wiki/Romanticism" title="Romanticism">romanticism</a> such as <a href="/wiki/Percy_Bysshe_Shelley" title="Percy Bysshe Shelley">Percy Bysshe Shelley</a> and <a href="/wiki/Samuel_Taylor_Coleridge" title="Samuel Taylor Coleridge">Samuel Taylor Coleridge</a>, as well as early feminist essays by American <a href="/wiki/John_Neal_(writer)" title="John Neal (writer)">John Neal</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Through Wilson the magazine was a keen supporter of <a href="/wiki/William_Wordsworth" title="William Wordsworth">William Wordsworth</a>, parodied the <a href="/wiki/George_Gordon_Byron,_6th_Baron_Byron" class="mw-redirect" title="George Gordon Byron, 6th Baron Byron">Byronmania</a> common in <a href="/wiki/Europe" title="Europe">Europe</a> and angered <a href="/wiki/John_Keats" title="John Keats">John Keats</a>, <a href="/wiki/James_Henry_Leigh_Hunt" class="mw-redirect" title="James Henry Leigh Hunt">Leigh Hunt</a> and <a href="/wiki/William_Hazlitt" title="William Hazlitt">William Hazlitt</a> by referring to their works as the "Cockney School of Poetry". The controversial style of the magazine got it into trouble when, in 1821, John Scott, the editor of the <i><a href="/wiki/London_Magazine" class="mw-redirect" title="London Magazine">London Magazine</a></i>, fought a duel with Jonathan Henry Christie over <a href="/wiki/Libel" class="mw-redirect" title="Libel">libellous</a> statements in the magazine. John Scott was shot and killed.<sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>By the mid-1820s Lockhart and Maginn had departed to London, the former to edit the <i>Quarterly</i> and the latter to write for a range of journals, though principally for <i><a href="/wiki/Fraser%27s_Magazine" title="Fraser's Magazine">Fraser's Magazine</a></i>. After this, John Wilson was by far the most important writer for the magazine and gave it much of its tone, popularity and notoriety. In this period <i>Blackwood's</i> became the first British literary journal to publish work by an American with an 1824 essay by <a href="/wiki/John_Neal_(writer)" title="John Neal (writer)">John Neal</a> that got reprinted across Europe.<sup id="cite_ref-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-3"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>3<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Over the following year and a half the magazine published Neal's <i><a href="/wiki/American_Writers" title="American Writers">American Writers</a></i> series, which is the first written history of American literature.<sup id="cite_ref-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Blackwood's relationship with Neal eroded after publishing Neal's novel <i><a href="/wiki/Brother_Jonathan_(novel)" title="Brother Jonathan (novel)">Brother Jonathan</a></i> at a great financial loss in 1825.<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>By the 1840s when Wilson was contributing less, its circulation declined.
