Review
From the first edition: -
`a worthy volume, durably bound and handsomely printed ... For readers who need to know who's when and what's where, this is an invaluable reference source.' Irish Times -
`helpful guide ... reliable, well-informed and broad-minded commentary' Times Literary Supplement -
'Sanders's volume aims to match the kind of comprehensiveness pioneered by Morley, Saintsbury and Legouis and Cazamian, though with closer attention to, and fuller quotation from, selected texts than the earlier historians would have been allowed. His way of handling difficult moments of historical transition is by means of an attractive eclecticism.' Times Literary Supplement -
' ... a comprehensive survey and analysis of English literature from the Anglo-Saxon period to the present day. ... its easy, accessible style will make it a valuable reference work for all readers. The publishers have aimed to provide a reliable and object guide containing a methodical and sonsistent analysis of literature to assist both students and the general reader. This they have achieved with distinction.' The Press. Aug '94 -
'a marvel of compendious scholarship and lucid prose' Herman Goodden, SCENE (Southwestern Ontario) June 1994 -
the volumes are a must for every bibliophile. - Sunday Mid-Day (Bombay)
