Veldig kult av Paul å skrive en så omfattende bok mtp at alt er veldig grunnleggende. Kjempebra, jeg vil ha mer.

Decent. I wonder how many English academics could write a book as good as this about eighteenth century Norwegian literature.

I’m sure there are one or two.

Very informative. The author offers readers a grand picture of the social and cultural landscape of the 18th century Britain, as well as an organized introduction to its literature.
