“Daniel Cook offers the fullest treatment yet available of the earliest appearances of Chatterton’s work in print. He gives a meticulous account of the earliest publication of work by Chatterton in magazines, and of the manner in which Chatterton’s earliest editors presented his work … .” (Richard Cronin, Romantic Review, Vol. 27 (1), February, 2016)
'[An] elegantly scrupulous study... Cook's contribution to eighteenth-century and Romantic studies is to show how Chatterton's problematic status as an author figure is in fact a striking reflection of rapidly changing and competing attitudes towards literature, criticism, the English past, the vernacular canon, and, crucially, the construction of unified authorship... Cook has diligently examined the periodical press of the later eighteenth century and spins a sophisticated narrative out of its tangled web of opinions. This confident and eloquent book will be welcomed by those researching authorship, the history of editing, and the Romantic reception of earlier writers, while remaining at its heart a signal contribution to the study of Thomas Chatterton.' Nick Groom, The BARS Review
