A model of editorial tact, thoroughness, and clarity. Not only does
this edition greatly enlarge the canon of Cowper's prose, it
provides at every point, unobtrusively and economically, exactly
what the reader needs: a chronology of Cowper's life at the
beginning of each volume, brief introductory characterizations of
the volume as a whole and of Cowper's individual correspondents
during the relevant period, precise textual information, concise
annotation, lists of letters included and of those known to be
missing, a fine index...indispensable.

Philology*
