Reviews

Splendid new edition ... given the legendary attention to detail of C.J. Woods, and the quality of the footnotes, this edition is likely to be definitive ... On current form this long-awaited edition of Tone's writings is set fair to be one of the most important publishing ventures of recent decades. Marianne Elliott, Times Literary Supplement (and English Historical Review) This volume covers Tone's career in Ireland to June 1795. The centrepiece is formed by Tone's journals, written with fluency and sparkle, and a delight to read. The journals are also an invaluable historical source ... this edition stands as the definitive scholarly version ... first-class scholarship. This edition does full justice to Tone's writings and provides an indispensable source for students of the 1790s. One hopes that the remaining two volumes will appear as soon as possible, and match the high standards set in this volume. James Quinn, Eighteenth-Century Ireland
