A magnificent and definitive work of scholarship. A thousand pages long, it provides not only a glossary and a context for the poems, but also a textual and historical note for each poem and song. - Colm Toibin, The Independent
A very fine edition, and the long introduction, which sets out to clear the tangled banks, is alone worth the cover price. - Andrew O'Hagan, The Scotsman
Scholarly and comprehensive. - Sunday Telegraph
