THE NINETEENTH CENTURY - A MONTHLY REVIEW No. 73, March 1883. Edited By James Knowles. Founded in 1877 by James Knowles, The Nineteenth Century was a British monthly literary magazine. This issues includes: “The truth about Rossetti” by Theodore Watts, “Frater ave ate vale” by Alfred Tennyson, “The Suppression of Poisonous Opinions” by Virginia Wolf’s father Leslie Stephen, among many others.  

The magazine was designed as an 'utterly impartial' forum for debate and discussion among leading intellectuals.

The first issue, for example, contained pieces by former Society members Lord Tennyson, William Gladstone and Cardinal Manning.
