Reviews
"[There is] value and significance of Forsyth's travel account, and Keith Crook has provided us with an excellent vademecum to its intricacies and, in the process, a powerful reminder of its cultural significance." * Romantic Circles *
"The Imprisoned Traveler, which includes a series of letters he was able to send from captivity to his brother in Scotland, offers an expertly detailed tribute to the man and his work in the wider aesthetic and political contexts of Romantic Europe." * Times Literary Supplement *
"Forsyth did not get to see the second edition of his work, which saw the light thanks to his brother, for he died soon after his liberation in 1815. Crook has assumed the privileged role of updating the twenty-first-century scholarly appreciation of Forsyth's seminal account of Napoleonic Italy, and Crook's book is a must on any shelf of specialised Romantic travel writing on Italy." * The BARS Review *
