This short-lived classical journal (1831-3), edited by Julius
Charles Hare (1795-1855) and Connop Newell Thirlwall (1797-1875),
both fellows of Trinity College, Cambridge, disseminated the new
comparative philology. Developed primarily in Germany - both
editors were fluent German speakers - this approach critiqued
biblical and classical texts and was associated with a liberal
Christianity which brought the editors into conflict with the
university's religious conservatism. Hare left Cambridge in 1832 to
take up the family living in Herstmonceaux, Sussex, while Thirlwall
was dismissed in 1834 for supporting the admission of dissenters.
Both editors nevertheless continued with ecclesiastical careers,
Thirlwall becoming bishop of St David's and Hare archdeacon of
Lewes. This 1832 volume, containing the journal's first three
issues, illuminates the tensions between classical scholarship and
Anglicanism as well as the development of specialised journals in
an age of general literary reviews.
