Introduction

The March issue of The Oxford and Cambridge Magazine was the second issue edited by Fulford, who took over the job from Morris in February. The issue includes the second part of Heeley’s essay on Sidney (the first part had been published in January), and the third and final installment of Fulford’s essay on Tennyson . The other essays in this issue are Heeley’s on Macaulay’s History of England, Fulford’s on Plato and Bacon, and Dixon’s on the Crimean War. The issue also includes a story by Morris, and a story and a poem by Fulford.

By March, Dante Rossetti, who was first attracted to the Magazine by Burne-Jones’s praise of him and other PRBs in his essay on Thackeray, was reading it monthly, and in a letter to William Allingham refers to it as “that miraculous piece of literature” (293).
