The Joseph Johnson Letterbook

John Bugg is author of Five Long Winters: The Trials of British Romanticism (Stanford University Press, 2014), which examines the relations between literary culture and political repression at the end of the eighteenth century. His essays and reviews have appeared in PMLA, ELH, Eighteenth-Century Studies, TLS, Romanticism, The Huntington Library Quarterly, European Romantic Review, and Keats-Shelley Journal. He is co-founder, with Sarah Zimmerman, of the New York City Romanticism Group.

Meticulously edited and annotated for publication by John Bugg. The Joseph Johnson Letterbook is a slim, beautifully produced volume, and a treasure trove for scholars of Romanticism and book history.
