Reviews
'A crucial reminder that literary critics and historians alike have much to learn from the study of bibliography and the history of the book when done, as it is here, with evident care, admirable precision, and infectious enthusiasm for its subject.' N. K. Sugimura, The Library '... a distinguished and learned book ... Wilkinson deploys a formidable range of book historian's skills, allied to a sophisticated awareness of eighteenth-century culture ... a serious piece of scholarship ... that has been skilfully fashioned into a good story.' The Times Literary Supplement '... a tour de force in bibliographical analysis ... The discoveries made are too numerous to count ... they add considerably to the depth and breadth of our knowledge of Spenser's reception in the eighteenth century.' David Hill Racliffe, The Spenser (www.english.cam.ac.uk/spenseronline)
