“The admirable series of handbooks edited by Professor Hales is rapidly
taking shape as one of the best histories of our literature that are at
the disposal of the student.... When complete there is little doubt that
we shall have a history of English literature which, holding a middle
course between the rapid general survey and the minute examination of
particular periods, will long remain a standard work.”—_Manchester
Guardian._
