Acta Comeniana
«... an important book, graced by meticulous editorial work and a thorough introduction.»
Studies in English Literature
«A surely definitive edition of Bacon's essays by Michael Kiernan ... the editing and presentation are faultless.»
Bernard Levin, Sunday Times
«Michael Kiernan has outclassed all previous editions; indeed, no work by Bacon has ever had such care lavished on it ... This edition provides the reader with more than he could ever have expected ... Professor Kiernan is to be congratulated for producing an edition which sets new standards in Bacon scholarship»
