Jack Lynch is Professor of English at Rutgers University-Newark, and the author or editor of eighteen books, including The Age of Elizabeth in the Age of Johnson and Deception and Detection in Eighteenth-Century Britain. He is co-editor of The Age of Johnson: A Scholarly Annual....[I]ts eclectic contextual and thematic studies, wonderfully reflective of the current state of the eighteenth-century studies as a discipline, will reveal the period's relationship to poetry in all its complexity and contradiction.

This Handbook distinguishes itself through its coverage, presentation and writing style.

These essays are witty, erudite, and enormously helpful to anyone reading or teaching in this area ... [the] chapters are similarly gratifying, and I think this will be a useful text for studying the poetry of the eighteenth century.
