Abstract

Over twenty years ago now, David Riede suggested that the first quarter of the nineteenth century, generally referred to as the �Romantic Period�, could as easily and should perhaps more accurately be entitled the �Age of Reviews�.1 Picking up on Riede�s revisionary suggestion, and because Ian Duncan�s notion of a �post-Enlightenment� by its very name plays down the powerful continuities between the thinkers of the Scottish Enlightenment and some of their literal and metaphorical pupils in the nineteenth,2 I want to suggest calling it the �Periodical Enlightenment�.
