Reviews
“A well-researched and interesting piece of work certainly deserves our praise and thanks for its clear and carefully documented presentation of the years of Renaissance and Shakespeare editions here under scrutiny. In his invaluable historical approach, Salzman provides us with a well-needed context making for a better understanding of the importance of the work of those nineteenth and early twentieth-century editors of Renaissance literature and culture to whom he is paying a justified tribute … .” (François Laroque, Cercles, cercles.com, December 15, 2019)
“This compact, useful study of nineteenth- and early twentieth-century editorial practice, is one of a few recent books that attempt to define the origins and describe the evolution of the canon upon which teaching and scholarship in the field of early modern literature are based.” (Jeremy Lopez, The Review of English Studies, September, 2018)
