Index to Book Reviews in England, 1775-1800

An index to reviews of 4982 works of poetry, fiction and drama published in England between 1775 and 1800, this reference tool offers easy access to reviews in many 18th-century journals. It includes reviews in all the main review journals, "The Monthly Review", "Critical Review", "English Review","London Review", Analytical Review", "British Critic", "New Review", "Anti-Jacobin Review" and "New London Review", the major magazines and 13 minor magazines or periodicals less well known in the area of book reviewing. Although the focus is on English periodicals, two Scottish magazines and one Irish one are included. Although the work is primarily an index to the reviews, it also amounts to an index to the works themselves, since all the works reviewed, as far as possible, have also been examined. Like its predecessor, "Index of Book Reviews in England 1749-1774", it aims to provide information about titles, types and quantities of works published. It also provides more accurate estimated publication dates for undated works.
