Joukovsky's new edition is a model of scholarship: the editor's learning, thoroughness, accuracy, and detective work are formidable. The Wordsworth Circle This edition of Peacock's letters will surely prove an invaluable tool for the study of the informal classicism of nineteenth-century British men. It certainly is a vital resource for the study of the Shelley circle and early nineteenth-century British literary culture. The Wordsworth Circle This is an invaluable resource for Romanticists, which not only adds to but changes the way we have perceived Peacock, his life and his times. BARS Bulletin & Review One major achievement of this edition is the increased knowledge we have of Peacock's private life. BARS Bulletin & Review Joukovsky has succeeded in bringing to light important new correspondence, which reveals a great deal about Peacock and will be of immense value to those interested in Peacock, the Shelleys' circle or Romanticism generally. BARS Bulletin & Review ... edited with impressive scholarship... the footnotes... are exemplary. The Keats-Shelley Review In addition to an eighty-page introduction, which digests Peacock's life and achievement, there is an an excellent index, and the book is produced in the impeccable tradition of the Clarendon Press. The Keats-Shelley Review The Letters of Thomas Love Peacock belongs in every research library and in the private collections of as many Romanticists as can afford it for the lasting value of its voluminous new evidence on the life of Peacock; ... on the Shelleys and members of their circle; about the period covered by the correspondence it includes (1792-1866); and as a standard against which those editing letters of the period can measure their mastery of the materials with which they are involved. The Keats-Shelley Journal The scholarship is evident in annotation that is enormously impressive ... The notes are full of interest and Joukovsky makes his scholarship all the more useful by compiling a very fine index to the whole edition. Review of English Studies
