A new collection of Shaw's major political writings presents an
opportunity to reflect on his influential role as a public
intellectual. At the forefront of economic and political debate
from the 1880s to the 1950s, George Bernard Shaw was once the most
widely read socialist writer in the English language, and his
lifelong crusade against inequality and exploitation is far from
irrelevant today. The thorough interpenetration of Shaw's literary
and political engagements is an unusual story in modern literature,
and this volume offers a portrait of Shaw as a political artist in
the purest possible sense: that is, as a writer of essays,
articles, pamphlets, and books with explicitly and expressly
political aims. The selected writings in this volume showcase
Shaw's most influential and most accomplished political work, but
also provide a cross-section that is representative of the whole of
his long career. ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford
World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature
from around the globe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's
commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a
wealth of other valuable features, including expert introductions
by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text,
up-to-date bibliographies for further study, and much more.

A prolific artist, writer, designer, and political activist, the
work of William Morris remains remarkably powerful and relevant
today. But how do you teach someone like Morris who made
significant contributions to several different fields of study? And
how, within the exigencies of the modern educational system, can
teachers capture the interdisciplinary spirit of this polymath,
whose various contributions hang so curiously together? Teaching
William Morris gathers together the work of nineteen Morris
scholars from a variety of fields, offering a wide array of
perspectives on the challenges and the rewards of teaching William
Morris. Across the book’s five sections – “Art and Design,”
“Literature,” “Political Contexts,” “Pasts and
Presents,” and “Digital Humanities” – readers will learn
the history of Morris’s place in the modern curriculum, the
current state of the field for teaching Morris’s work today, and
how this pedagogical effort is reaching beyond the classroom by way
of books, museums, and digital resources.

How literature of the British imperial world contended with the
social and environmental consequences of industrial mining The
1830s to the 1930s saw the rise of large-scale industrial mining in
the British imperial world. Elizabeth Carolyn Miller examines how
literature of this era reckoned with a new vision of civilization
where humans are dependent on finite, nonrenewable stores of
earthly resources, and traces how the threatening horizon of
resource exhaustion worked its way into narrative form. Britain was
the first nation to transition to industry based on fossil fuels,
which put its novelists and other writers in the remarkable
position of mediating the emergence of extraction-based life.
Miller looks at works like Hard Times, The Mill on the Floss, and
Sons and Lovers, showing how the provincial realist novel's
longstanding reliance on marriage and inheritance plots transforms
against the backdrop of exhaustion to withhold the promise of
reproductive futurity. She explores how adventure stories like
Treasure Island and Heart of Darkness reorient fictional space
toward the resource frontier. And she shows how utopian and fantasy
works like "Sultana's Dream," The Time Machine, and The Hobbit
offer imaginative ways of envisioning energy beyond extractivism.
This illuminating book reveals how an era marked by violent mineral
resource rushes gave rise to literary forms and genres that extend
extractivism as a mode of environmental understanding.

This book explores the literary culture of Britain's radical press
from 1880 to 1910, a time that saw a flourishing of radical
political activity as well as the emergence of a mass print
industry. While Enlightenment radicals and their heirs had seen
free print as an agent of revolutionary transformation, socialist,
anarchist and other radicals of this later period suspected that a
mass public could not exist outside the capitalist system. In
response, they purposely reduced the scale of print by appealing to
a small, counter-cultural audience. "Slow print," like "slow food"
today, actively resisted industrial production and the
commercialization of new domains of life.
Drawing on under-studied periodicals and archives, this book
uncovers a largely forgotten literary-political context. It looks
at the extensive debate within the radical press over how to
situate radical values within an evolving media ecology, debates
that engaged some of the most famous writers of the era (William
Morris and George Bernard Shaw), a host of lesser-known figures
(theosophical socialist and birth control reformer Annie Besant,
gay rights pioneer Edward Carpenter, and proto-modernist editor
Alfred Orage), and countless anonymous others.
Charlotte "Brownie" Wright is the town clerk in tiny map-dot
Abbott, a Southern town determined not to leap too quickly into the
next century. She is best described as a cross between Scarlett
O'Hara and Flo Castleberry from Mel's Diner and has big hair, a big
heart, and a big laugh. She stays on top of the action in Abbott
with the help of the local cast of characters, good fashion sense,
and good pimento cheese and pickle sandwiches. Investigating a
murder is the last thing from her mind until she finds the town
historian dead in the old courthouse. With the police force down
one man, Brownie steps up with the organizational skills only a
clerk can possess. She and the police chief work their way through
a set of contradictory clues, a nineteenth century old civil war
ghost, and motives abound.

The Spirit of the Laws is without question one of the central texts in the history of eighteenth-century thought, yet there has been no complete scholarly English language edition since 1750. This lucid translation renders Montesquieu's problematic text newly accessible to a fresh generation of students, helping them to understand why Montesquieu was such an important figure in the early enlightenment and why The Spirit of the Laws was such an influence on those who framed the American Constitution. Fully annotated, this edition focuses on Montesquieu's use of sources and his text as a whole, rather than on those opening passages toward which critical energies have traditionally been devoted.
