WORKS OF AARON HILL

."..the price of these four volumes is outlandish, and all the more so because the volumes are available on-line (Eighteenth-Century Collection On-Line) and with far better reproduction. The first two volumes contain previously known letters relating Pope and Richardson...Volumes 3 and 4 contain some of his poetry. As Mr. Jung notes, Hill was an early enthusiast for the aesthetic sublime, for natural description, and for emotionalism. However, he failed in all three...Volume 4 concludes with "Essay on the Art of Acting." As with many pages throughout the four volumes, the reprint is very lightly inked, and many words are lost to illegibility." -The Scriblerian and the Kit-Cats, Vol. 40 No. 1 & No. 2, Autumn 2007 - Spring 2008
