Roger Lonsdale was formerly Professor of English Literature at the
University of Oxford. His publications include The New Oxford Book
of Eighteenth-Century Verse and Eighteenth-Century Women Poets: An
Oxford Anthology John Mullan teaches at University College London.
He is a broadcaster and literary journalist, with a weekly column
on fiction for the Guardian newspaper. He has edited Defoe's Roxana
for OWC, and is the author of
How Novels Work (OUP, 2006) and Anonymity: A Secret History of
English Literature (Faber, 2007).
`The 'Lives of the Poets', combining mournfully droll biography
with brilliant literary criticism, is as enjoyable as anything he
wrote, yet has long been unavailable outside academic libraries or
second-hand bookshops.'
John Mullan, Saturday Guardian
