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."--
