What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

"The Wiley-Blackwell Encyclopedia of Eighteenth-Century Writers and Writing 1660-1789should be near at hand for every student and teacher of eighteenth-century literature. The choice of entries among writers, publishers, and key literary titles expands one's sense of the field, especially in the selection of women and labouring-class writers. The encyclopedia is densely packed with accurate, reliable information on the full range of literary life in eighteenth-century Britain, and the variable lengths of the entries are nicely adjusted to facilitate reference while providing narrative interest. Like the best reference works of the eighteenth century, theWiley-Blackwell Encyclopedia is both profitable to consult and a pleasure to peruse."
Robert DeMaria, Jr, Vassar College
