This textbook series is ambitious in scope. It provides concise and
lucid introductions to major works of world literature from
classical antiquity to the twentieth century. It is not confined to
any single literary tradition or genre, and will cumulatively form
a substantial library of textbooks on some of the most important
and widely read literary masterpieces. Each book is devoted to a
single work and provides a close reading of that text, as well as a
full account of its historical, cultural, and intellectual
background, a discussion of its influence, and a guide to further
reading. The contributors to the series give full consideration to
the linguistic issues raised by each text, and, within the overall
framework of the series, are given complete freedom in the choice
of their critical method. Where the text is written in a language
other than English, full account is taken of readers studying the
text in English translation. While critical jargon is avoided,
important technical terminology is fully explained and thus this
series will be genuinely accessible to students at all levels and
to general readers.
