March 31 – Tait's Edinburgh Magazine is established by William Tait. Tait was an "independent radical" in politics; he strongly favored the Whig party. 1832 was a time of great political ferment, with the first Reform Bill as the dominant subject of discourse. Tait's periodical was intended as a "Radical riposte" to "the politically revanchist but culturally avant-garde Blackwood's Edinburgh Magazine."Ian Duncan, Scott's Shadow: The Novel in Romantic Edinburgh, Princeton, NJ, Princeton University Press, 2007; p. 21. From 1833 on, Tait's Magazine was a regular venue for the essays of Thomas De Quincey. De Quincey's series of biographical essays on the Lake Poets (later collected as Recollections of the Lake Poets) were featured in Tait's between 1834 and 1840.Thomas De Quincey, Recollections of the Lakes and the Lake Poets, Edited with an Introduction by David Wright, New York, Penguin, 1970.

Sultana 1977 88 No steps were taken to publish the novel during the few months that remained of Scott's life, and John Gibson Lockhart, Scott's son-in-law and literary executor, expressed his hope that The Siege of Malta would never see the light of day, since it was of such poor quality that it could only harm Scott's reputation.Sultana 1977 ixThe Life of Sir Walter Scott, Bart.

December (or January 1833) – The publisher Richard Bentley issues the first collected edition of Jane Austen's novels. In 1832, Bentley purchased the remaining copyrights to all of Austen's novels, which were previously owned by Austen's sister Cassandra.
