Trade Review
“The general editors are to be commended for this substantial addition to the reference works on British literature in the period 1660–1789.” (Notes and Queries, 4 December 2016)
“The entries are clearly written, well-sourced and cross-referenced with related entries from the encyclopedia’s three volumes. As the only stand-alone encyclopedia dedicated solely to eighteenth-century British literature, the Encyclopedia would be a useful addition to academic libraries supporting English studies in the period, though the price may be prohibitive for many smaller programmes.” (Reference Reviews, 1 October 2015)
"Comprehensive in its approach, this reference set is intended as "a starting point for more in-depth investigations." Accessible writing and ease of use make this a worthwhile addition to college and university libraries supporting introductory level literature courses." (Choice 2016)
