Cambridge University Press The Selected Letters of Joseph Conrad
Book SynopsisSince the publication of the Cambridge edition of The Collected Letters of Joseph Conrad, the numerous letters in the nine volumes, many of them published for the first time and many more taken from hard-to-find books and journals, have had a profound influence on writing about Conrad. This selection makes the highlights available in one volume. The letters have been re-edited with shorter footnotes and an emphasis on the latest scholarship. Letters originally written in French or Polish appear only in revised English translations. Among the topics that stand out are Conrad's memories of growing up in Poland and Ukraine, his ideas about fiction, often expressed in precise but sympathetic comments on the work of his friends, the anxieties of war and revolution, his struggle to keep his integrity as a writer, and his lives as a sailor and a family man.Table of ContentsIntroduction; Letters: 1861–1893; 1894–1897; 1898–1902; 1903–1908; 1909–1913; 1914–1918; 1919–1922; 1924–1924; Conrad's correspondents.

Cambridge University Press The Iliad Commentary v3 Bk 912 A Commentary Volume 3 Books 912
Book SynopsisThis is the third volume in the major six-volume Commentary on Homer's Iliad prepared under the General Editorship of Professor G. S. Kirk. It opens with two introductory chapters: the first on Homeric diction (on which emphasis is maintained throughout the Commentary); the second on the contributions that comparative studies have made to seeing the Homeric epics in sharper perspective. In the commentary Dr Hainsworth confronts in an intentionally even-handed manner the serious problems posed by the ninth, tenth and twelfth books of The Iliad, seeking by means of a succinct discussion and a brief bibliography of recent contributions to furnish the user with a point of entry into the often voluminous scholarship devoted to these questions. The Greek text is not included.Table of ContentsIntroduction; 1. Formulas; 2. The Iliad as heroic poetry; Commentary; Index.

Journal of Classics Teaching'All in all, Finglass has met the multiple challenges posed by so intractable a text magnificently.' Journal of Classical Philology'This is a superlative commentary whose learning and acuity would do credit to a much older scholar … [It is] an astonishing feat to write such a full and thoughtful commentary in such a short time.' David Kovacs, Bryn Mawr Classical Review'… shows profound perceptiveness and wide learning at every corner … No review can do justice to the immense scope and the breadth of vision of the commentary … With this authoritative edition of Sophocles' Electra Finglass exegit monumentum aere perennius [has completed a monument more lasting than bronze, Horace Odes 3.30.1] in the annals of classical scholarship.' Andreas Markantonatos, Exemplaria Classica'An impressive debut … Finglass is a stimulating commentator to study, and disagreement with his position never leads to disrespect for it. This edition will provide the starting point for discussion of the play for many years to come.' Hayden Pelliccia, Classical Review'An ambitious new text, apparatus, and commentary that makes full use of … developments in classical scholarship … this edition of Sophocles' Electra is a work of critical acumen and great learning. Its many readers will be grateful that this remarkable play has been served so well.' Francis Dunn, New England Classical Journal'It is a relief to read his balanced interpretations after so many attempt to read into the play what is not there … I welcome his interpretation of the play as a whole.' Anna Maria van Erp Taalman Kip, Mnemosyne'For any question even remotely connected to this play - palaeographical, papyrological, mythological, metrical, topographical, stylistic, orthographic, and so on - this is where I'll start … This will be the text and commentary to use and consult for years to come.' David Schenker, Classical BulletinTable of ContentsIntroduction; SOPHOKLEOUS ELEKTRA; Commentary; Appendices.

Cambridge University Press Morris News from Nowhere Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought
Book SynopsisNews from Nowhere (1890) is the most famous work of one of the greatest British writers and thinkers, William Morris. It is a utopian picture of a future communist society, drawing on the work of Ruskin and Marx and written in response to what Morris saw as soulless and mechanical visions of socialism. In this work of his last years, Morris distilled many of his leading ideas on politics, art and society, imagining a world in which capitalism has been abolished by a workers' revolution and nature and society have become beautiful habitations for humanity. In an era that has seen the collapse of state socialism, Morris's damning critique of this conception, and his positing of a powerful alternative, have important contemporary resonances.Table of Contents1.
