Rezensionen
'Reading this wonderful book is akin to sitting in on a master-class seminar taught by a sensible, affable teacher who is also a rigorous, respected scholar ... Sitter has devoted his professional life to the study and teaching of eighteenth-century verse, and this book offers a rich yield of wisdom embedded within a wide range of attractive practical readings. Not to be missed by anyone interested in eighteenth-century poetry.' A. W. Lee, Choice
