Recensione:
What is outstanding about this edition is its intellectual generosity (The Library)
an extraordinary accomplishment (Peter Holland, Times Literary Supplement)
This far ranging, comprehensive edition is important in several respects, but chiefly because it offers a miscellany of Restoration plays, poems and squibs which, when read in sequence, say far more about the culture which produced them than about the outrageous court wit associated with them. (Noam Reisner, The Years Work in English Studies)
