THE PAGEANT VOL2 REVIEWS
Periodicals on both sides of the Atlantic regularly reviewed late-Victorian little magazines of art and literature. Some reviews would be fairly lengthy essays; others might only be a sentence or two in length; occasionally, the critic would compare one magazine to another. As was typical of the period, most reviews were published unsigned. This digital repository of historical reviews offers insight into the critical reception of Y90s magazines at the time of their production.

This, the second issue of “The Pageant,” is delightful enough for us to hope that it may become a hardy annual. Messrs. White and Shannon have carried out their task—the difficulty of which only such as have essayed it may fully know—with considerable skill, and the consequence is a very beautiful and charming volume.

The second number of the Pageant, within the limits which the editors have set themselves, is a highly creditable production. These limits are perhaps enjoined more by fashion than by taste.
