Reviews for The Letters of Philip Webb, Volume I

These 1100 letters from 1864-1914 are a fascinating insight into the life of a quiet, generous man. Comprehensive footnotes give context to the correspondence and the index, always vital in collections of this sort, is full and helpful. - Penny Lyndon, The Journal of William Morris Studies Philip Webb's letters are endlessly informative and enjoyable, but John Aplin's footnotes are themselves a delight. Never over-intrusive, they are nevertheless an important contribution to scholarship. - Peter Burman, SPAB, Autumn 2016
