North American Review founded
September — Lord Byron writes Samuel Taylor Coleridge of his admiration of Christabel, which he has heard recited by Sir Walter Scott; Coleridge sends Byron a copy of the poem, and after reading it Byron realizes he has unconsciously borrowed from it in Siege of Corinth; he offers to omit the lines; yet on publication the lines remain and Byron offers an explanatory note.
Percy Bysshe Shelley writes Alastor, or The Spirit of Solitude which lacked a title when he passed it along to his friend, Thomas Love Peacock. Peacock suggested the name "Alastor" from Roman mythology.

Lord Byron, Hebrew Melodies, including "She Walks in Beauty", "The Destruction of Sennacherib" published in April with musical settings; though expensive at a cost of one guinea, over 10,000 copies sell; by summer, an edition of Byron's poems without the musical settings is published.

Sir Walter Scott, "The Lord of the Isles"
