Everything the reader needs in a single volume This book is
virtually unique in providing the Middle English text of Sir Gawain
and the Green Knight with an interlinear translation together with
a commentary. It also contains helpful illustrations. Separate
chapters give a full analysis of the text and its background.
A critical introduction to "Pride and Prejudice" by Jane Austen is
suitable for students from high school up to university level as
well as for the general reader. The book places the novel in the
context of Austen's other works, analyzes the narrative voices, the
manners of the times, marriage, and the importance of locations.
The writer shows how both Darcy and Elizabeth, inadequate alone,
completely complement each other.
The book is virtually unique in providing: the full text in Middle
English, an interlinear translation, introductory chapters on the
pilgrims and the narrator, guided study questions on each section
of the text, a detailed analysis of the frame story and each
portrait, a full bibliography and a guide to further reading. The
author's aim is to meet the needs of students up to undergraduate
level, of their teachers, and of the general reader who wishes to
experience and enjoy one of the great comic works of world
literature.
This book uniquely offers everything a reader needs to appreciate
the text. It gives the reader a newly edited Middle English text
with side-by-side modernization and a commentary. Also included are
chapters on the General Prologue, the Structure of the Wife's
Prologue and Tale, the Teller and the Tale, and a comparison with
three other tales of the Knight and the Loathly Lady.
This Critical Introduction explores the main themes, characters and
symbols of "The Great Gatsby"; the quest for a new life, the
preoccupation with one's place in society, the desire for riches
and the greatest dream of all human beings. In doing so it offers
an interpretation which, unlike most analyses of this American
Masterpiece, places Nick as the focus of Fitzgerald's attention. It
includes a series of questions that helps the reader develop a
deeper understanding of the story.
The book is virtually unique in providing, in a single volume, a
comprehensive analysis of The General Prologue which reflects the
latest thinking. It places the work in the context of the social
change in late fourteenth century England. The detailed reading of
each section of the poem is supported by the author's own
modernization of the text which enables the reader fully to
understand Chaucer's Middle English. Also included, for purposes of
comparison, are selections from contemporary writers such as
Langland and Gower. The description of each pilgrim is analyzed in
socio-historical terms, but emphasis is also placed on the writing
as poetry. The author's aim is to give the reader the confidence to
develop his/her own understanding of a work which is an essential
part of the European literary heritage.
