Abstract
The Standard, London’s only surviving evening newspaper, was founded in 1827. For the rest of the century the paper provided keen but critical support for Conservatism, and made an important contribution to the political and literary life of the capital. This study of the origins, early growth and maturity of the Standard in nineteenth-century London will examine the paper’s editorial management and its role as a focus for cultural and political writing.
