An Enquiry Into The Nature of Certain Nineteenth Century Pamphlets exposed one of the most notorious literary scandals of the twentieth century. Thomas James Wise, a book collector and bibliographer held in the highest esteem, was found to have perpetrated a stream of forgeries of minor works by major nineteenth century authors. The exposure of Wise led to further discoveries, in particular that he had been working with Harry Buxton Forman, the distinguished editor of Keats and Shelley. Carter and Pollard had been compiling extra material for a new edition of their work, which was taken over by Nicolas Barker and John Collins after their deaths in the 1970s. This edition includes additional material that they have since amassed.
