With a new Introduction by Cedric Watts, Research Professor of
English, University of Sussex. James Joyce's astonishing
masterpiece, Ulysses, tells of the diverse events which befall
Leopold Bloom and Stephen Dedalus in Dublin on 16 June 1904, during
which Bloom's voluptuous wife, Molly, commits adultery. Initially
deemed obscene in England and the USA, this richly-allusive novel,
revolutionary in its Modernistic experimentalism, was hailed as a
work of genius by W. B. Yeats, T. S. Eliot and Ernest Hemingway.
Scandalously frank, wittily erudite, mercurially eloquent,
resourcefully comic and generously humane, Ulysses offers the
reader a life-changing experience.

Edited, introduced and annotated by Cedric Watts, M.A., Ph.D.,
Emeritus Professor of English, University of Sussex. Shakespeare's
Macbeth is one of the greatest tragic dramas the world has known.
Macbeth himself, a brave warrior, is fatally impelled by
supernatural forces, by his proud wife, and by his own burgeoning
ambition. As he embarks on his murderous course to gain and retain
the crown of Scotland, we see the appalling emotional and
psychological effects on both Lady Macbeth and himself. The cruel
ironies of their destiny are conveyed in poetry of unsurpassed
power. In the theatre, this tragedy remains perennially engrossing.

Edited, Introduced and Annotated by Cedric Watts, M.A., Ph.D.,
Emeritus Professor of English, University of Sussex. The Wordsworth
Classics' Shakespeare Series presents a newly-edited sequence of
William Shakespeare's works. The Textual editing takes account of
recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal.
Hamlet is not only one of Shakespeare's greatest plays, but also
the most fascinatingly problematical tragedy in world literature.
First performed around 1600, this a gripping and exuberant drama of
revenge, rich in contrasts and conflicts. Its violence alternates
with introspection, its melancholy with humour, and its subtlety
with spectacle. The Prince, Hamlet himself, is depicted as a
complex, divided, introspective character. His reflections on
death, morality and the very status of human beings make him 'the
first modern man'. Countless stage productions and numerous
adaptations for the cinema and television have demonstrated the
continuing cultural relevance of this vivid, enigmatic, profound
and engrossing drama.

Edited, introduced and annotated by Cedric Watts, M.A., Ph.D.,
Emeritus Professor of English, University of Sussex. The Wordsworth
Classics' Shakespeare's Series presents a newly-edited sequence of
William Shakespeare's works. The textual editing takes account of
recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal.
The Tempest is the most lyrical, profound and fascinating of
Shakespeare's late comedies. Prospero, long exiled from Italy with
his daughter Miranda, seeks to use his magical powers to defeat his
former enemies. Eventually, having proved merciful, he divests
himself of that magic, his 'art', and prepares to return to the
mainland. The Tempest has often been regarded as Shakespeare's
'farewell to the stage' before his retirement. In the past, critics
emphasised the romantically beautiful features of The Tempest,
seeing it as an imaginative fantasia. In recent decades, however,
The Tempest has also been treated as a potently political drama
which offers controversial insights into colonialism and racism.
Frequently staged and diversely filmed, the play has influenced
numerous poets and novelists.
With a new Introduction by Cedric Watts, Research Professor of
English, University of Sussex. Guy de Maupassant was a master of
the short story. This collection displays his lively diversity,
with tales that vary in theme and tone, ranging from tragedy and
satire to comedy and farce. In a lucidly direct style, he provides
unflinching realism and sceptical irony. He depicts the deceptions,
hypocrisies and vanities at different levels of society.
Prostitution is frankly described, while the harshness of war is
deftly exposed. His tales have been televised and have influenced
films, operas and rock music. Unillusioned but humane, Maupassant
remains our contemporary.

Edited, Introduced and Annotated by Cedric Watts, M.A., Ph.D.,
Emeritus Professor of English, University of Sussex. The Wordsworth
Classics' Shakespeare Series, with Henry V and The Merchant of
Venice as its inaugral volumes, presents a newly-edited sequence of
William Shakespeare's works. The textual editing takes account of
recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal.
Othello has long been recognised as one of the most powerful of
Shakespeare's tragedies. This is an intense drama of love,
deception, jealousy and destruction. Desdemona's love for Othello,
the Moor, transcends racial prejudice; but the envious Iago
conspires to devastate their lives. In its vivid rendering of
racism, sexism, contested identities, and the savagery lurking
within civilisation, Othello is arguably the most topical and
accessible tragedy from Shakespeare's major phase as a dramatist.
Productions on stage and screen regularly renew its power to
engross, impress and trouble the imagination.
Formation and Structure of Planets, Volume 62 in the Advances in
Geophysics series, highlights new chapters on a variety of topics
in the field, including The evolution of multi-method imaging of
structures and processes in environmental geophysics, An
introduction to variational inference in Geophysical inverse
problems, Moment tensor inversion, and more.
Advances in Geophysics, Volume 60, the latest release in this
highly-respected publication in the field of geophysics, contains
new chapters on a variety of topics, including Marchenko imaging,
Fiber-optic sensing and distributed acoustic sensing, Diffractions,
and Time-lapse interferometry across scales.
Artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming increasingly prevalent in
our daily social and professional lives. Although AI systems and
robots bring many benefits, they present several challenges as
well. The autonomous and opaque nature of AI systems implies that
their commercialisation will affect the legal and regulatory
framework. In this comprehensive book, scholars critically examine
how AI systems may impact Belgian law. It contains contributions on
consumer protection, contract law, liability, data protection,
procedural law, insurance, health, intellectual property,
arbitration, lethal autonomous weapons, tax law, employment law and
ethics. While specific topics of Belgian private and public law are
thoroughly addressed, the book also provides a general overview of
a number of regulatory and ethical AI evolutions and tendencies in
the European Union. Therefore, it is a must-read for legal
scholars, practitioners and government officials as well as for
anyone with an interest in law and AI.

Cedric Robinson was one of the most important and influential Black
radical scholars of recent times, best known for the pathbreaking
Black Marxism: The Making of the Black Radical Tradition. In this
late major work, he turns his attention to European radical
traditions and explores a genealogy of emancipatory thought and
practice that predates Marxism and capitalism itself, and which
continues to guide struggles for liberation today. Accompanied by a
foreword by H. L.T. Quan and a preface by Avery Gordon, this
invaluable text reimagines the communal ideal from a broader
perspective that transcends modernity, industrialisation and
capitalism.
