Someone who sells written reviews of books, art works, theater plays, and concerts.
Critic: "Always prominent. Besides, reputed to know everything, to be aware of everything, to have read everything and seen everything. When one displeases you, call him Aristarchus, or a eunuch."
Flaubert, Dictionary of Platitudes (1880).
