.,."these volumes...will survive for a long time as a monument to Bower's influential ideas about the critical text." Alan Shepard, Renaissance Quarterly

"Overall, Bowers' authoritative editions of the Beaumont and Fletcher canon provide a much-needed service for the small but ever diligent body of Beaumont anf Fletcher scholars. One is immediately impressed with the years of research and cross-reference required to amass such a complete cataloging of textual variants, emendations, and authorial collaborations." The Sixteenth Century Journal
