`Here, the book's function as a practical guide comes into its own, as by the end of each section, the reader has a clear idea of which translations are available, and, through comparative illustration and/or informed critical commentary, a fair notion of the strengths and weaknesses of each version.' John Style, European Jnl of English Studies, Issue 4:3, Dec. 2000.

John Style, European Jnl of English Studies, Issue 4:3, Dec. 2000.

`a textual concision and choice of apposite quotations which are exemplary.' John Style, European Jnl of English Studies, Issue 4:3, Dec. 2000.

John Style, European Jnl of English Studies, Issue 4:3, Dec. 2000.
`A horizon-expanding book whose editor has made a remarkable contribution to cultural life in Scotland and far beyond.' Robert Crawford, The Scotsman
