One of the subtitles of The Critic, a literary periodical published in New York from 1881 until its merger with Putnam's Monthly Magazine in 1906, was A Weekly Review of Literature, Science, The Fine Arts, Music and The Drama. The magazine's wide purview naturally led it to pay special attention to contemporary literary figures; the resulting riches are now available for researchers who have the patience to glean. With this article I close my own series of investigations;[1] I meanwhile suggest to others with various interests that it will repay further study.
In what follows I offer hitherto unrecorded materials by and about both American and English writers. Unless otherwise stated, the pieces quoted are not, to the best of my knowledge, in the standard editions of these authors. With volume 4 the periodical began a new series; my references cite the concurrent numbering according to the old series.
