Great Victorian reviews and the Dreyfus affair
The Dreyfus Affair was followed with avid interest in Britain, in particular by the great Victorian reviews. Their coverage has never before been assessed, and this article brings to light some of the major themes which preoccupied the editors and readers of the Contemporary Review, the Fortnightly Review, The Nineteenth Century and the National Review. The latter, under its francophile editor Leo Maxse, devoted hundreds of pages to the Affair, and made revelations whose repercussions were felt in France.
