Reviews

No scholar knows this correspondence better than Kuin (York University, Toronto), whose impressive achievement in this long-awaited edition is to present all these letters in meticulously prepared texts with copious annotations and idiomatic translations.
*D. M Moore, Choice*

Roger Kuin's handling of this diverse, scattered and highly allusive correspondence is outstanding. His technical descriptions of the letters are meticulous, his translations lucid, his pursuit of contextual detail often little shorto of astonishing.
*Ian Donaldson, London Review of Books*

This monumental and handsomely produced edition allows readers access to a captivating, far-reaching correspondence.
*Praise from the prize committee for the twelfth Morton N. Cohen Award*

Roger Kuin has spent decades on these two massive volumes, and he deserves thanks from every student of English literature. These two volumes should have a place in every university library in the English-speaking world.
