Críticas

« This first volume of Woolley's edition of Swift's correspondence is itself a real and lasting contribution to learning. The completed work will be invaluable. [...] let us take this opportunity to celebrate the publication of what will soon look like a distinctly old-fashioned object - an elegantly written, well designed, accurately set, carefully proofread, well printed, solidly constructed, hand-stitched, case-bound, 650-page book. Swift himself - lover of books, lover of lists, lover of footnotes, lover of accuracy, lover of good editing - would have approved. -- Andrew Carpenter

« ... Mr. Woolley's fine edition of Swift's 'Correspondence' ... will be regarded by Swift scholars as a monumental scholarly achievement - erudite, personal, charming and witty. A new edition is unlikely to be needed for the foreseeable future. -- J.A. Downie
