Reviews
a fine resource. Freyja Cox Jensen, Cercles It is hard to think of a compilation of fifty original essays containing more concentrated scholarship than these do. Robert Fraser, Times Literary Supplement this collection of articles offers an introduction to the field of Donne studies that would be difficult to equal elsewhere. Ruth Mills Robbins, Comitatus
a fine resource. Freyja Cox Jensen, Cercles It is hard to think of a compilation of fifty original essays containing more concentrated scholarship than these do. Robert Fraser, Times Literary Supplement this collection of articles offers an introduction to the field of Donne studies that would be difficult to equal elsewhere. Ruth Mills Robbins, Comitatus it is impossible to over-praise the ingenuity of Shami, Flynn, and Hester's organizational plan ... The end result is, mirabile dictu, as deft and accessible a compendium of the best of current scholarly thinking about Donne as one could hope to find assembled between two covers. It proves as extraordinary a record of Donne scholarship at what is possibly the peak of its most vital era ... I'm delighted by how firm a purchase of Donne this Handbook allows. Raymond-Jean Frontain, Spenser Review
