Reviews

'Poetics of Character is a true masterpiece in Manning's areas of specialization - the literature and philosophy of the Scottish Enlightenment, Romanticism, transatlanticism - and, if I may be allowed the type of language that [James] Chandler employs, it displays Manning's thinking at its most agile and acute. A gift to multiple fields and the capstone of an impressive and influential career, [it] opens multiple new channels of thought for eighteenth- and nineteenth-century transatlantic criticism, a fitting legacy for a scholar already seen as a trailblazer in the field.' Matthew Wickman, Review of English Studies
