"In this respect, the Encyclopedia brings together a very wide range of material that would otherwise not be so easily accessible. To some extent, it even redresses the canonical centrality of the well-known names by locating them very firmly within their own historical context and in relation to the literary culture of the time." ( Journal of the Northern Renaissance , 1 December 2012) "As such, it would be a strong contender for any academic library, of good use in a public library, and will work best when placed alongside the online Wiley-Blackwell Encyclopedia of Literature, though this is not essential to get value from the set." ( Reference Reviews , 1 December 2012) "Summing Up: Recommended. Lower-division undergraduates through graduate students." ( Choice , 1 July 2012)
