Lord Francis Jeffrey Jeffrey

    Francis Jeffrey fut un critique littéraire et juge écossais qui devint une figure centrale de la vie littéraire britannique du début du XIXe siècle. Ses essais dans la très influente *Edinburgh Review*, qu'il co-fonda et dirigea pendant des décennies, se caractérisaient par une analyse pointue et un argumentaire convaincant. L'approche critique de Jeffrey, distincte des critiques commerciales de l'époque, façonna les goûts littéraires et le discours de son temps. Par son travail, il influença considérablement non seulement la direction du journal, mais aussi des débats plus larges sur l'art, la politique et l'éthique.
