Synopsis
The 18th century was a wealth of knowledge, exploration and rapidly growing technology and expanding record-keeping made possible by advances in the printing press. In its determination to preserve the century of revolution, Gale initiated a revolution of its own: digitization of epic proportions to preserve these invaluable works in the largest archive of its kind. Now for the first time these high-quality digital copies of original 18th century manuscripts are available in print, making them highly accessible to libraries, undergraduate students, and independent scholars.
Western literary study flows out of eighteenth-century works by Alexander Pope, Daniel Defoe, Henry Fielding, Frances Burney, Denis Diderot, Johann Gottfried Herder, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and others. Experience the birth of the modern novel, or compare the development of language using dictionaries and grammar discourses.

Review
"Woolley's edition is superb in every way--it is truly a model of editorial scholarship....Woolley has at last made [the Intelligencer] fully accessible, establishing once and for all its interest and value and providing the contextual and textual information necessary to full appreciation of it....Woolley's edition is an admirable achievement, and it is unlikely that any other will ever supersede it."--Eighteenth-Century Studies
"A scholarly tour de force, displaying state-of-the-art textual criticism and excellent and generous annotation."--Studies in English Literature 1500-1900
"[A] superb edition....James Woolley's edition of the Intelligencer is handsome, erudite, and deeply considerate of its readers. It will be a source of inspiration for scholars and critics alike....The Intelligencer reminds most of an extremely well-designed house, light and airy, crammed with interesting objects, but absolutely uncluttered."--Journal of English and Germanic Philology
"This edition of The Intelligencer, with its extensive introduction, superb apparatus, deatiled bibliographical and textual notes, extensive appendices and fine index, is a model of modern scholarship which should facilitate the emergence of a fuller appreciation of the journal's significance and a clearer view of Swift's and Sheridan's economic thinking. The centuries of neglect The Intelligencer has experienced are over."--Irish Historical Review
"This edition of The Intelligencer has been long awaited and the wait has been worthwhile for it is impossible to imagine the task better done."--Eighteenth-Century Ireland
