Longman, 2002 excellent for students This is THE edition of Pride and Prejudice. I teach English, and I asked my school to order this edition for my students, and the Penguin Classics edition showed up instead. I nearly swore at the person involved. Of course I restrained myself. Somewhat. The materials in this book to aid student understand surpass the Penguin Classics by a mile--everything from the background material (the ...             Masters of British Literature, Volume B (Damrosch Series)1 review David Damrosch, Christopher Baswell, ... Longman, 2008 enduring classics The editors have the challenging task of gathering together a synopsis of British literature from the middle ages to the 18th century. Of course we see Chaucer and Shakespeare. But more diversity is provided. If anything, Shakespeare is deprecated compared to some other texts that you might find on this field. Some people might reasonably decry this. However there is really no shortage of works ...             The Longman Anthology of British Literature, Volumes 1A, 1B & 1C Package: Middle Ages to The Restoration and ...

The book is a monumental achievement, a literary aphrodesiac, a genuine specimen of romance and whit.

Longman, 2006               Selected Poems (Penguin Classics)2 reviews Lord George Gordon Byron Penguin Classics, 2006 Byron at his best . . . A legend in his own lifetime, Lord Byron stamped contemporary Western culture with the mark of his dark imagination, and his poetry has lost none of its iconoclastic power today. Without a doubt, this is the finest single-volume edition of Byron currently available. By omitting the rambling satirical romp "Don Juan" (widely available separately), editors Wolfson and Manning leave themselves ...             The Longman Anthology of British Literature, Volume 112 reviews David Damrosch, Christopher Baswell, ... Longman, 2006 A great anthology! I'm using the Longman Anthology of the Romantics and their Contemporaries (3d edition) for the first time in my 3d-year Romantics course (enrolment 88 and counting!) -- I would like to thank the editors for doing a fantastic job -- the introductory essay (pp. 3-29) is truly unparallelled for clarity, scope, and intelligence -- absolutely filled to the brim with great, challenging ideas.

Wolfson Longman, 2002 Frankenstein plus writings contemporaneous of the novel Mary Wollenstonecraft Shelley's "Frankenstein; or, The Modern Prometheus" is a major novel in Western Civilization. I always think of it as representing the paradigm shift from religion to science, embodied in the contrast with the myth of Faust with the story of Victor Frankenstein. The crucial question in this novel is simply which is Frankenstein's createst sin, bringing the creature to life ...             Tales From Shakespeare (Signet Classics)21 reviews Charles Lamb, Mary Lamb Signet Classics, 2007 Ideal for family reading hour The Lambs' classic book is an ideal read-aloud text and a perfect introduction to Shakespeare for young readers and listeners. We've found it suitable for our older children especially -- ages 7 and up. Each "tale" takes around fifteen minutes to read, and although some of the vocabulary is rather elevated, vocal inflection and emphasis can aid comprehension. The Lambs have done a commendable ...             Reading for Form (A Robert Heilman Book) University of Washington Press, 2007 Reflecting varieties of theory and practice in both verse and prose from the Middle Ages to the twenty-first century, these essays by many of America's leading literary scholars call for a reinvigorated formalism that can enrich literary studies, open productive routes of commerce with cultural studies, and propel cultural theory out of its thematic ruts. This book reprints Modern Language Quarterly's highly acclaimed special issue Reading ...             John Keats, A Longman Cultural Edition (Longman Cultural Editions)1 review John Keats, Susan J. Wolfson Longman, 2006 The best Keats anthology going Susan Wolfson's new Longman Cultural Edition of Keats is nonpareil. By interspersing the letters and the poems -- all arranged chronologically--Wolfson brilliantly guides us through the poet's development. Alone among easily accessible editions, this one allows us to follow the poet and theorist in action, experimenting, elaborating, going out on limb after limb. Ideal for classroom use, ...             Longman Compact Anthology of British Literature4 reviews David Damrosch, Christopher Baswell, ... Longman, 1999 Excellent variety of selections I appreciate the breadth and balance of the selection of materials in the Longman Anthology, particularly in comparison with the Norton Anthology. While the Norton Anthology has more prestige, it has some curious choices of material (granted I own the 7th edition some improvements may have been made in newer issues). Where the Longman anthology (in a one-volume anthology no less) has a verse ...             The Cambridge Companion to Keats (Cambridge Companions to Literature) Cambridge University Press, 2001 In The Cambridge Companion to Keats, leading scholars discuss Keats's work in several fascinating contexts: literary history and key predecessors; Keats's life in London's intellectual, aesthetic and literary culture and the relation of his poetry to the visual arts. These specially commissioned essays are sophisticated but accessible, challenging but lucid, and are complemented by an introduction to Keats's life, a chronology, a list of ...             The Longman Compact Anthology of British Literature (Volume B)1 review David Damrosch, Christopher Baswell, ... Longman, 1999 Nortons Schmortons I've got nothing against the various Nortons anthologies. I was raised on them and have written more papers than I'm comfortable admitting based on the contents of many of them. That said, I think the Longman editions may contain more insightful information than the Nortons. This is merely based on my recent familiarity with the Longman edition, and doesn't take in to account any improvements ...             Borderlines: The Shiftings of Gender in British Romanticism Susan J. Wolfson Stanford University Press, 2006 Borderlines reveals how the revolution-era debates of the 1790s redefined notions of gender across the nineteenth century. With fresh readings of the works, careers, and volatile receptions of Felicia Hemans, M. J. Jewsbury, Lord Byron, and John Keats, the authors show how senses (and sensations) of gender shape and get shaped by sign systems that prove to be arbitrary, fluid, and susceptible of transformation. Complicating recent views that ...             Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde, The Secret Sharer, and Transformation: Three Tales of Doubles, A Longman Cultural ... Robert Louis Stevenson, Susan J.

In these three nightmarish tales, an uncanny other turns out to be a second self, a sharer of intimate anxieties, repressed energies, dark impulses.             The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde1 review Robert Louis Stevenson Copley Editions, 2000 the best edition This is a beautifully presented and edited volume. The novel is a classic, and it is here edited by one of the greatest American scholars in her field, Susan Wolfson.

Wolfson University of Pittsburgh Press, 2001 This anthology brings together three powerfully original figures who vividly capture the spirit and anxieties of their age.
