	William Blackwood
		BLACKWOOD, WILLIAM, an eminent publisher, and originator of the magazine which bears his name, was born in Edinburgh, November 20, 1776, of parents who, though in humble circumstances, bore a respectable character, and were able to give this and their other children an excellent elementary education.
		Mr Blackwood from the first took a strong part with the existing Tory government, which in Edinburgh had been powerfully supported heretofore in every manner except by the pen, while the opposition had long possessed a literary organ of the highest authority.
		Mr Blackwood was twice a magistrate of his native city, and in that capacity distinguished himself by an intrepid zeal in the reform of burgh management, singularly in contrast with his avowed sentiments respecting constitutional reform.

		The Edinburgh printing and publishing house of Blackwood and Sons was founded by William Blackwood in 1804.
		William Blackwood III anxiously hovered over Margaret Oliphant as she wrote the official company history, which was meant to follow the standard line of Scottish publishing memoirs by portraying the founder as an exemplar of self-help, reason, faith, and civic nationalism.
		Blackwood’s saturated the market with reprints of the works of George Eliot—bad enough when Eliot was popular, but disastrous when she went out of fashion.

		The full title of this periodical, founded in 1817 by the publishing firm of William Blackwood and Son, was Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine, a reference to its Scottish origins which also hints at its intended status as both political and a commercial rival to the Whig Edinburgh Review.
		Blackwood's attack on what it termed 'the Cockney School' of literature, which included John Keats, William Hazlitt and Leigh Hunt, resulted in a feud against the London Magazine.
		Blackwood's published poetry and humorous articles, including the Noctes Ambrosianae, accounts of the after-dinner conversations of an imaginary circle of friends, originated by William Maginn, later the founder of Fraser's Magazine.

		An important early contributor to Blackwood's was William Maginn, the founder of Fraser's Magazine.
		John James Ruskin described Blackwood's in 1851 as 'smart, clever, spiteful and amusing; concocted for a purpose, it purposely mutilates and perverts' (see Works, 9.xl), Ruskin and Blackwoods, Ruskin and Eagles, dispute between Ruskin and the critics.)

	The Initial Publication Context of Joseph Conrad's Heart of Darkness
		As Conrad's remark to the owner and editor of Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine regarding the forthcoming publication of the short story "Karain" suggests, he was highly honoured to see his work in the pages of one of Britain's most venerable literary monthlies, initiated on All-Fools' Day in 1817.
		William Blackwood further gratified Conrad on December 30th, 1898, by soliciting a piece for a special thousandth number, an issue that would run 296 pages, as opposed to an average of 160 pages for other numbers in Volume 165 for the first six months of 1899.
		Despite the massive number of accidentals in Blackwood's Part One (presumably as many were introduced into the remaining instalments), the serial form of Parts Two and Three remain our only evidence as to the state of the novella after Conrad's initial revision.

	David Finkelstein: The House of Blackwood
		Perceptively applying theory to archives, Finkelstein's study illuminates the publisher's relations to authors, and much more—it shows how successive generations of Blackwoods responded to familial, economic, trade, workshop, and political pressures, the changing demographics of readers, and the altered conditions of publishing in Edwardian Britain.
		The value of the archive Finkelstein studies is its completeness, the depth of the ledger material (particularly interesting given that the Blackwoods did much of their own printing), and the extraordinary longevity of the firm.
		He has spent the last few years cataloging the Blackwood papers for the National Library of Scotland, which has enabled him to exploit business documents ignored by or unknown to previous researchers.

		Curious as to how Berbeglia came by her interest in William Wetmore Story, she tells us that she has long been interested in English literature and has spent her spare time studying it.
		It was her interest in English literature that lead to research on the Brownings, and of course, Elizabeth and Robert Browning were close friends of the Storys.
