A Critical Investigation into the Life and Writings of Francis Jeffrey (1773-1850)

尽管我们的文化是，在很大程度上仍然是英国的浪漫主义时期的文化发展，其自然和主观性，个人主义和民族主义的往往相互冲突的想法，我的研究杰弗里的职业生涯和著作将带来利益澳大利亚作出概念上的进步，在我们的文化和政治历史的关键领域。弗朗西斯杰弗里的影响巨大的“爱丁堡评论”的阅读量比英国在19世纪早期的几十年里更大的地方是在美国的前殖民地和英国的殖民地，如澳大利亚。

Insofar as our culture was and to a large extent remains a development of the culture of Britain during the Romantic period, and of its often conflicting ideas of nature and subjectivity, individualism and nationalism, my research into Jeffrey's career and writings will bring benefit to Australia by making conceptual advances in key areas of our cultural and political history. The only places where Francis Jeffrey's enormously influential 'Edinburgh Review' was read more avidly than in Britain in the early decades of the nineteenth century were in the ex-colony of America and in British colonies like Australia.
