This set comprises 40 volumes covering 19th and 20th century European and American authors. These volumes will be available as a complete set, mini boxed sets (by theme) or as individual volumes.

So many questions surround the key figures in the English literary canon, but most books focus on one aspect of an author's life or work, or limit themselves to a single critical approach. The Complete Critical Guide to D. H. Lawrence is part of a unique series of comprehensive, user-friendly introductions which:
* offer basic information on an author's life, contexts and works
* outline the major critical issues surrounding the author's works, from the time they were written to the present
* leave judgements up to you, by explaining the full range of often very different critical views and interpretation
* offer guides to further reading in each area discussed.
This series has a broad focus but one very clear aim: to equip you with all the knowledge you need to make your own new readings of crucial literary texts.

"Ireland in Proximity" surveys and develops the field of Irish Studies, reviewing existing debates and providing new avenues for exploration. Drawing on a wide variety of approaches, this impressive collection of essays makes an innovative contribution to three areas of current interest. The contributors illustrate the diversity of thinking on Irish history, culture, and identity. Drawing on theoretical perspectives including psychoanalysis, cultural theories of space, postcoloniality, and theories of gender and sexual difference, this collection offers fresh perspectives on established subjects and brings new and under-represented areas of critical concern to the forefront. Among the topics explored are: sexuality and gender identities, the historiographical issues surrounding the Famine, the Irish diaspora, and theories of space in relation to Ulster and beyond.
Contributors: David Alderson, Aidan Arrowsmith, Caitriona Beaumont, Fiona Becket, Scott Brewster, Dan Baron Cohen, Mary Corcoran, Virginia Crossman, Richard Kirkland, David Lloyd, Patrick McNally, Elisabeth Mahoney, Willy Maley, Shaun Richards, Eibhear Walshe.
