He is also breathtakingly learned." -- John J. Burke, Jr., Eighteenth-Century Life, This admirable study makes for the thoughtful taming of an otherwise intractable form, both in the weight that it brings to bear upon its separate arguments and in the care that it applies to their articulation., This book... offers a strong model for determining the canon and demands that future discussions proceed with care., Professor Weinbrot has provided us with a lively, stimulating and readable discussion...
