Recenzje

'The editors … have laboured hard tracking down almost all the names and references in Richardson's letters and they have provided extensive and illuminating notes and an entertaining introduction. My guess is the fastidious master printer Samuel Richardson would have approved of this volume.' Tibor Fischer, The Critic
