Description: "The editors and contributors are to be warmly congratulated for assembling, consolidating and making available so much useful knowledge' William St Clair, Times Literary Supplement.

'Colossal work-in-progress...eminently browsable and consultable...The transatlanticization of English studies to which we solemnly enjoin one another these days is all very well, but as the new History before us shows, that oft-crossed pond was not the half of it.' Herbert F. Tucker, Modern Philology.

'A major resource that will provide new insights into the development of the literary canon ... the amount of information contained is prodigious ... should remain a standard reference work for a long time.' Alan Turner, Modern Language Quarterly.

'This collection is a goldmine of information regarding an important part of our literary heritage in an age in which it reached unparalleled heights.' Contemporary Review --Book Jacket.
