'can be endorsed enthusiastically...the editors not only make satires available to far more readers at any time since the Romantic period, but also provide superb headnotes and annotation.' Romanticism 'British Satire 1785-1840 is a mould-breaking resource for students and scholars of the period, an indispensable publication... I shall certainly be using [it] to teach my undergraduates... These books will be useful to generations of Romantic students and scholars and indicate the way forward for subsequent anthologists.' The Wordsworth Circle
