Recensioner i media

Fairer and Gerrard s third edition of Eighteenth-Century Poetry: An Annotated Anthology is simply the one and only anthology to use when teaching 18 th-Century British Poetry. The selections are judicious but wide-ranging, offering readers the traditional canonical figures as well as newly-recuperated poets, both male and female. The annotations are superbly informative and authoritative. Bravissimo! John Richetti, University of Pennsylvania
