‘It is not every day that book-reviewing revives one’s hopes of life after death, but this edition of Byron’s masterpiece is a case in point. . . . [Jane Stabler’s achievement in the scholarly annotations] is prodigious in its own right. . . . Finally, for Byronists: the editors’ achievement here should encourage a scholar somewhere to write that genuinely literary-critical account of Byron’s masterpiece we lack. Cultural-materialist approaches can help us see what we are reading in Don Juan; only literary criticism can tell us why we should read it.’ - Richard Lansdown, The Wordsworth Circle, volume 56, number 3, summer 2025.
