The New Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature: Volume 2, 1660-1800


Book Description

More than fifty specialists have contributed to this new edition of volume 2 of The Cambridge Bibliography of English Literature. The design of the original work has established itself so firmly as a workable solution to the immense problems of analysis, articulation and coordination that it has been retained in all its essentials for the new edition. The task of the new contributors has been to revise and integrate the lists of 1940 and 1957, to add materials of the following decade, to correct and refine the bibliographical details already available, and to re-shape the whole according to a new series of conventions devised to give greater clarity and consistency to the entries.

Literature and Literati: Letters, 1766-1827


Book Description

The letters of Henry Mackenzie (1745-1831), the «man of feeling», now published for the first time, make up a unique collection of contemporary information on the cultural, intellectual, social, and political setting of their day. They communicate Scottish Enlightenment thought and openness; they follow the socio-cultural and literary cross-currents during one of the most significant periods of modern Scotland, extend their view to England and, though not forgetting regional boundaries and identities, include the European dimension.
