THE LONDON ENGLISH LITERATURE SERIES is comprehensive in scope and includes the plays of Shakespeare and other dramatists, anthologies of poetry, novels and such other works as are likely to interest readers who wish to understand and gain pleasure from some of the most inspired writing in English Literature.
Each volume is prefaced by a critical commentary or introduction in which great emphasis is placed on the kind of analysis that the reader may need as guidance to a fuller appreciation of the text. Concise notes have also been included and, where necessary, the essential facts of the author’s life are given in brief outline.
