Reviews
-
'The Continuum Companion is encyclopaedic not just in format but in range... The editors have assembled a truly international team of scholars capable of writing authoritatively about topics as diverse as Socinianism and the reform of the coinage... This volume is indeed a generally faithful companion to Locke studies which even serious scholars will be glad to have by their side.'
British Journal for the History of Philosophy

'This new volume is appropriate for advanced researchers looking into Locke's nonphilosophical interests and the intellectual climate that formed and was formed by his work. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students and researchers/faculty.'
CHOICE
-
... a useful addition to current scholarly literature on Locke for students and professional philosophers alike... ranging over more of Locke's work than is usual in such a companion, being distinctive in its aims and organisation, and providing very full coverage of the historical background to and reception of Locke's thought.
