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.'
