Literature

An exciting and continually developing list, stretching from Medieval literature through to contemporary writers and cutting edge literary theory, and ranging from textbooks right through to research monographs. The core strengths consist of: Medieval texts; Renaissance and Shakespearean studies and drama; some C17th and C18th; Victorian literature (including Gothic); early Modernism; contemporary writing; postcolonial; gender and literary theory and; philosophy. A number of series exemplify the overall reach and standard of the lists themselves and of the Press in general: The renowned Revels Plays - complemented by the Companion Library and the textbook success of the Student Editions; the bestselling Beginnings series; the Contemporary World Writers - shortly to be joined by Contemporary British Novelists; the advanced Texts in Culture; the student-friendly Shakespeare in Performance; as well as the emerging Angelaki Humanities.
