Reviews

The Oxford Handbook of British Poetry, 1660-1800 displays scholarship at its communal best * Norma Clarke, Times Literary Supplement * These essays are witty, erudite, and enormously helpful to anyone reading or teaching in this area ... [the] chapters are similarly gratifying, and I think this will be a useful text for studying the poetry of the eighteenth century. * George E. Haggerty, SEL Studies in English Literature 1500-1900 * Once again Oxford University Press has published a library staple... A core collection for university or college libraries supporting English literature programmes. It should also be seriously considered as an excellent addition to the stock of public libraries supporting a poetry collection... This Handbook distinguishes itself through its coverage, presentation and writing style. * Linda Kemp (Nottingham Trent University), Reference Reviews * The best pieces in this volume take account of recent book history, which has transformed our understanding of print culture in the period... Hammond's exemplary account, wide-ranging, insightful, and beautifully written,is one example among many of the riches of this book. * Jane Darcy (University College, London), Modern Language Review *
