Opis

Comments on earlier volumes "William Cowper is one of the very greatest of letter-writers in English.... To read them is to be in touch with a mind of civilised humor and a style of healthy clarity.... The completed set will become an indispensable work of scholarship."--Critical Quarterly. Volume V completes this definitive edition of Cowper's letters and prose. It contains a cumulative index for the set.

Recenzje

'The high standard of scholarship set by the earlier volumes has been sustained to the end, and we now have Cowper's complete prose writings in an edition prepared with exemplary thoroughness and accuracy. ... This will deservedly remain the authoritative edition for a very long time.' Review of English Studies
