Reviews

'The editor's preface provides a valuable account of the poem's somewhat complicated publication history, which is also treated thoughtfully and with illuminating effect by contributors.' -- Jenny Davidson Studies in English Literature vol 56:03:2016 'Nichol's collection of essays is a brilliant satire... This collection brings new and original interpretations to a classic work of eighteenth-century literature and, as such, it is both a celebratory and a necessary gesture.' -- Ileana Baird SHARP News August 21, 2016
