Books by Daniel Cook

The Victim of Fancy was first published in December 1787 and, despite favourable reviews, has not been published since. Cook's new scholarly edition of this forgotten novel will be of paramount importance in allowing new insights into the form of the sentimental novel as it actually existed in the 1780s, and not as it is often perceived.

With Thomas Chatterton as its case study, this book offers new insights into the formation and development of literary scholarship in the long eighteenth century.
