Reviewers’ comments
'This series is a measure of the quality of the writing of the 1890s and of the wisdom and taste of the selectors of the 1990s. Even the prices, though not exactly low, are well worth it, especially for libraries and collectors who would otherwise pay dearly for the few surviving copies of the originals, almost all of which were published in limited editions.' G.B.Tennyson, Nineteenth Century Literature.
'This year's crop of texts demonstrates the meritorious aim of the series: to present the work of poets who have fallen out of the canon alongside that which has survived into the late twentieth century, thus allowing both for a revaluation of the period as a whole through the discovery of forgotten voices and for a fresh perspective on work which has long been subject to intense scrutiny ... a valuable resource for scholars and students of the fin de siècle.'
Year's Work in English Studies.
'Their attractive format remains a delight to the eye, and their front matter by Thornton and Small provides even specialized readers with useful introductions and bibliographies.’
Karl Beckson, English Literature in Transition.
