Athenaeum

The influential weekly Athenaeum (Saturdays) was founded in 1828. From 1869–1900 it was edited by Norman MacColl; from 1901–1916, it was edited by Vernon Rendall. (Dictionary of Nineteenth-Century Journalism 26).

The list below gives articles, reviews, and letters which Andrew Lang wrote for the Athenaeum, first from the Curran Index and then from earlier sources. The Athenaeum is included in British Periodicals, to which many research universities subscribe.

The Curran Index entries, as of Sep. 2022, however, appear to be different from those listed in earlier sources (Green and Langstaff). Until I can investigate this issue farther, I list the Curran Index Andrew Lang search results separately:
