Reviews

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 ... edited with impressive scholarship... the footnotes... are exemplary The Keats-Shelley Review 16 (2002) 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 16 (2002) The publication of this exemplary edition - enhanced by a thorough introduction discussing Peacock's correspondents and the history of his manuscripts, ... an invaluable twenty-page chronology of Peacock's life (really the outline of a more scholarly biography than has yet appeared), richly researched annotations, and an excellent index - opens a new era in Peacock studies Keats-Shelly Journal 51 (2002) ... he has provided students of Romanticism with the most important publication on Peacock since the Halliford Edition of his Works (1924-34) Keats-Shelley Journal 51 (2002) 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 it 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. Keats-Shelley Journal 51 (2002) 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
