Bright, Broken Maginn

Chapter 5 in Plant Here The Standard, 1996, pp 57-71 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract During the formative years of The Standard, two writers more than any others stood out: Dr William Maginn and Alaric Alexander Watts. ‘Bright, broken Maginn’ is immortalised by Thackeray as the Captain Shandon of Pendennis; and, at the end of the nineteenth century, there was a messenger named Jensen who could remember as a small boy daily bringing Maginn’s articles from Fleet Prison to the paper’s offices in Shoe Lane.
