Correspondence with Lady Bradshaigh and Lady Echlin 3 Volume Hardback Set (Series Numbers 5-7)

Peter Sabor is Director of the Burney Centre and Canada Research Chair in Eighteenth-Century Studies at McGill University. He is a past president of the Canadian Society for Eighteenth-Century Studies and a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada. He is co-General Editor of The Cambridge Edition of the Works and Correspondence of Samuel Richardson, which is in progress. His many publications on Richardson include Pamela in the Marketplace: Literary Controversy and Print Culture in Eighteenth-Century Britain and Ireland, co-authored with Thomas Keymer (Cambridge, 2005).

'Thomas Keymer and Peter Sabor's magnificent 12-volume edition of the correspondence, three volumes of which, edited by Sabor, collect Richardson's letters with Bradshaigh. Their pages represent an extraordinary amount of work - in sorting through and piecing together the muddle of manuscript correspondence, handling Barbauld's editorial interventions, restoring obliterated passages, redating letters and decoding Bradshaigh's often eccentric spelling. The annotation is precise and sympathetic; the volumes are beautifully presented.' Clare Bucknell, The Times Literary Supplement
