Rezensionen
"James Grande's engaging and beautifully written narrative blends stories from William Cobbett's life and letters along with scholarly analysis of highlights from Cobbett's twenty million published words. ... Like Cobbett Grande cares about language. But he's a better writer. This is a model for students and academics looking for a style to emulate." (John Gardner, Notes and Queries, Vol. 63 (2), June, 2016)

"James Grande's conceptually nuanced and compelling study adds an epistolary dimension to the range of recent scholarship engaging with Cobbett's multifaceted cultural project. ... William Cobbett, the Press and Rural England significantly develops what is already a formidable body of scholarship on the most influential contemporary English prose writer of the Romantic period. ... this major new study is more than simply a synthesis and presentation of valuable archival research." (Alex Benchimol, The BARS Review, Issue 48, Autumn, 2016)
