Recenzii
'The editors, Michael Griffin and David O'Shaughnessy, have undertaken considerable original research in updating and adding to Katherine Balderston's 1928 Cambridge University Press collection of Goldsmith Letters. Like Balderston before them, Griffin and O'Shaughnessy confront a slender body of surviving letters but build a fascinating story from what remains.' Claire Connolly, The Irish Times
'It has seldom seemed necessary to consider his Irishness, but the editors of this new edition of Goldsmith's letters, Michael Griffin and David O'Shaughnessy, urge its importance, and they are surely right.' Norma Clarke, London Review of Books
'In their valuable introduction, Michael Griffin and David O'Shaughnessy discuss the unexplained threads that run through the letters, the self-confessed flaws of character, the homesickness for Ireland, the bitter tone, the obsequious requests for money … Reading the letters should send us straight back to the works to be surprised by Goldsmith's clarity, relevance and entirely individual sense of the absurd.' Kate Chisholm, The Times Literary Supplement
'Indispensable … this excellent and long-overdue new edition of his letters brings Goldsmith and the people and forces shaping his work into considerably sharper focus.' Maureen Harkin, Eighteenth-Century Ireland
'Superb … Griffin and O'Shaugnessy are a formidable team and their work, given the complexity of Goldmsith studies, amounts to a significant breakthrough for Goldsmith scholarship.' Fergus O'Ferrell, Dublin Review of Books
