Reviews

'Can all comprehensive reference works be such a joy to read as this? It is a fine reference book to be in the stock of any good reference library. It is also a special book for anyone who has a love of poetry.' The Library Association Record 'As the editor notes, whilst this reference work is an ideal companion to the Library of America anthology and will be useful as such, it also stands alone as a comprehensive reference work for students, teachers, and scholars. It will be valuable in academic and large public libraries.' Booklist 'Recommended for all libraries, particularly those that already own the Library of America anthology.' Library Journal
