Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine

Scottish monthly literary magazine 1817–1980, founded by Scottish publisher William Blackwood (1776–1834) as a rival to the Edinburgh Review, founded 1802.

The original editors of Blackwood's were John Wilson (1785–1854), who wrote under the name Christopher North, and J G Lockhart (1794–1854), who notoriously wrote a critical attack on Keats. One feature of the magazine was the regular inclusion of tales of terror which were subsequently reprinted separately. Many well-known writers contributed to this genre, including John Galt, Walter Scott, and James Hogg; the stories were reused by later writers such as Edgar Allen Poe and Charles Dickens.
