Beskrivning
The Wiley-Blackwell Encyclopedia of Eighteenth-Century Writers and Writing 1660-1789 features coverage of the lives and works of almost 500 notable writers based in the British Isles from the return of the British monarchy in 1660 until the French Revolution of 1789. Broad coverage of writers and texts presents a new picture of 18th-century British authorship Takes advantage of newly expanded eighteenth-century canon to include significantly more women writers and labouring-class writers than have traditionally been studied Draws on the latest scholarship to more accurately reflect the literary achievements of the long eighteenth century

Recensioner i media

"This modest volume offers an excellent reference resource for students and scholars, but, as the authors explain, their aim is not only provide 'reliable and accessible information' but also 'to offer a kind of browsing sense of interconnection between writers, and indeed a sample of the collective variety of the period' (p. xxii)." ( Years Work in English Studies , 1 August 2013) "Charlotte Sussman's guide is an impressive addition to Polity's Cultural History of Literature series. It will prove most useful to undergraduate and postgraduate students but may also provide experienced researchers with a refreshing survey of the period, articulating a number of original insights along the way." ( Journal for Eighteenth-Century Studies , 17 July 2013)
