<p>âThe general editors are to be commended for this substantial addition to the reference works on British literature in the period 1660â1789.â (<i>Notes and Queries</i>, 4 December 2016)</p> <p>âThe entries are clearly written, well-sourced and cross-referenced with related entries from the encyclopediaâs three volumes. As the only stand-alone encyclopedia dedicated solely to eighteenth-century British literature, the Encyclopedia would be a useful addition to academic libraries supporting English studies in the period, though the price may be prohibitive for many smaller programmes.â (<i>Reference Reviews</i>, 1 October 2015)<br /><br />"Comprehensive in its approach, this reference set is intended as "a starting point for more in-depth investigations." Accessible writing and ease of use make this a worthwhile addition to college and university libraries supporting introductory level literature courses." (Choice 2016)<br /><br /></p>
