The Collected Works of William Robertson

Reviews / Votes

'Given [the] revived interest in Robertson, a new twelve-volume edition of [his] collected works is indeed to be welcomed ... This superb collection ... is, in the best sense, a labor of love ... Sher and Smitten have invested considerable care in ensuring that the collection includes complete and accurate texts of each of Robertson's works, and have expended great effort in locating the original texts, which are often rare ... The collection is further enriched by the presence of new explanatory texts and critical essays ... The work as a whole is well planned and thoroughly satisying ... the editors and publisher are to be congratulated for producing an authoritative edition ... a beautiful edition, attractively bound and printed ... the collection represents a worthy tribute to the life and work of a great historian.' - Stewart J.
