Collected Works of James Beattie

Reviews

'A splendid addition to the Routledge/Thoemmes reprints. The reader has constant reason to be grateful. [The] introductions make connections which give unity to the whole collection; they are informative and interesting, and provide unobtrusive but authoritative guidance ... The appearance of this extremely valuable Collected Works makes one more aware of how much eighteenth-century Scottish studies would benefit from a complete critical edition of Beattie's correspondence - and something of a sense of the magnitude of the task in producing one. The introductions to this set make many new letters available, for which we are additionally indebted to Robinson's thorough and thoughtful research.' - Susan Manning, The Newsletter of the Eighteenth-Century Scottish Studies Society
