    • A new look at Shakespeare's play in accordance with the work of the Shakespeare and Schools Project, the National Curriculum for English, developments at GCSE and A-level, and the probable development of English and Drama throughout the 1990s. Cambridge School Shakespeare considers the play as theatre and the text as script, enabling pupils to inhabit the imaginative world of the play in an accessible, meaningful and creative way. Cambridge School Shakespeare approaches the plays in a new way, encouraging students to participate actively in examining them, to work in groups as well as individually, to treat each play as a script to be re-created, and to explore the theatrical/dramatic qualities of the text. The editorial comments cater for pupils of all ages and abilities, providing clear, helpful guidelines for school study. The format of the plays is also designed to help all teachers, whether experienced or inexperienced. NB This replaces the information previously issued.

    • Een meeslepende weergave van de duistere criminele onderwereld van Londen, het verhaal volgt Oliver Twist, een wees die vanaf zijn geboorte geconfronteerd wordt met kwaad en tegenspoed. Na te zijn ontsnapt uit het werkhuis en de pompeuze Mr. Bumble, wordt Oliver in een bende van dieven getrokken, vol levendige personages zoals de sluwe Artful Dodger, de brute inbreker Bill Sikes, zijn hond Bull's Eye en de prostituee Nancy, allemaal onder het waakzame oog van meester-dief Fagin. Dickens mengt elementen van Gothic Romance, Newgate Novel en populair melodrama, en creëert een nieuwe soort fictie die een wrede samenleving bekritiseert, doordrenkt met een gevoel van bedreiging en mysterie. Dit verhaal biedt een kritische blik op de sociale ongelijkheid van de tijd en de strijd van de onschuldige tegen de onderdrukking van de maatschappij.

    • Dracula has been attributed to many literary genres including vampire literature, horror fiction, the gothic novel and invasion literature. Structurally it is an epistolary novel, that is, told as a series of diary entries and letters. Literary critics have examined many themes in the novel, such as the role of Victorian culture, conventional and conservative women sexuality, immigration, colonialism, postcolonialism and folklore. Although Stoker did not invent the vampire, the novel's influence on the popularity of vampires has been singularly responsible for many theatrical and film interpretations throughout the 20th and 21st centuries.

    • Tempestuous Eustacia Vye passes her days dreaming of passionate love and the escape it may bring from the small community of Egdon Heath. Hearing that Clym Yeobright is to return from Paris, she sets her heart on marrying him, believing that through him she can leave rural life and find fulfilment elsewhere. But she is to be disappointed, for Clym has dreams of his own, and they have little in common with Eustacia’s. Their unhappy marriage causes havoc in the lives of those close to them, in particular Damon Wildeve, Eustacia’s former lover, Clym’s mother and his cousin Thomasin. The Return of the Native illustrates the tragic potential of romantic illusion and how its protagonists fail to recognize their opportunities to control their own destinies.
