Collection of Poems by Several Hands

'It is most appropriate...that Michael Suarez and Routledge bring us this first reprinting of Dodsley's Collection in over 200 years...Because the original volumes have long since been absorbed by private and institutional libraries, this handsome edition once more makes available on the open market...the poetical miscellany that played such a central role in capturing and defining the fashionable taste in poetry during the last half of the eighteenth century. What is more, the decision to provide a facsimile edition affords modern users not only the flavour of the original but the assurance of absolute textual fidelity.' - Times Literary Supplement'Suarez's introduction is especially valuable, for it explores uncharted ground, discovering new material and leading to fresh insights.' - Times Literary Supplement
