Editorial Reviews

"It would be hard to fault this splendid new edition. The editors appear to have traced every contemporary piece of writing either by or about Tone, and every document carries clear historical explanations...[Once the third and final volume is published] this edition is likely to be one of the most important publishing ventures of recent decades. Both the editors and the publisher can take considerable professional pride in finally bringing to press a work of such scale and importance."—Times Literary Supplement
