Dubliners / James Joyce by Series: Everyman's library ; 49
Edition: 1st ed.
Material type:  Text; Format:
print
; Literary form:
Fiction
Publisher: New York : Knopf, 1991Distributor: Distributed by Random House
Dissertation note: Though James Joyce began these stories of Dublin life in 1904 when he was twenty-two and completed them in 1907, their unconventional themes and language led to repeated rejections by publishers and delayed publication until 1914. In the century since, his story “The Dead” has come to be seen as one of the most powerful evocations of human loss and longing that the English language possesses; all the other stories in Dubliners are as beautifully turned and as greatly admired. They remind us once again that James Joyce was not only modernism’s chief innovator but also one of its most intimate and poetic writers.

Material type: Text; Format:
print
; Literary form:
Fiction
Publication details: New York : Knopf : Distributed by Random House, [1991]
Dissertation note: The most perfect of Jane Austen’s perfect novels begins with twenty-one-year-old Emma Woodhouse comfortably dominating the social order in the village of Highbury, convinced that she has both the understanding and the right to manage other people’s lives–for their own good, of course. Her well-meant interfering centers on the aloof Jane Fairfax, the dangerously attractive Frank Churchill, the foolish if appealing Harriet Smith, and the ambitious young vicar Mr. Elton–and ends with her complacency shattered, her mind awakened to some of life’s more intractable dilemmas, and her happiness assured

Poems / Samuel Taylor Coleridge ; selected and edited, with an introduction by John Beer. by Series: Everyman's library
Material type: Text; Format:
print
; Literary form:
Not fiction
Publication details: London : Rutland, Vt. : J.M. Dent ; C.E. Tuttle, 1991
Dissertation note: Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1772-1834) was the master impresario of English Romanticism -- an enormously erudite and tireless critic, lecturer, and polemicist who almost single-handedly created the intellectual climate in which the Romantic movement was received and understood. He was also, in poems such as 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner,' 'Christabel,' and 'Kubla Khan.' the most uncanny, surreal, and startling of the great English poets.
