Oxford World's Classics Hardback Collection

'Very thin indeed is the curtain between us and the unknown'

The short stories of H. G. Wells are about many things, but they are nearly always about contact between the extraordinary and the everyday. There are few mighty statesmen or square-jawed heroes in his writing-it's a junior teaching assistant-who ends up being handed the fruit of the tree of knowledge in a railway carriage, a domestic housekeeper who must save a botanist from a murderous orchid, and a Lancashire engineer who ends up, high in the Amazon, witnessing the rise of an empire of insects. Even in Wells's non-fantastic stories, people are propelled out of their elements, forced to reckon with their place in the world-or that of humanity at large. 

Wells is best-known today for his science fiction novels and his prophetic writings, but he began his career as a journalist and wrote an extraordinary number of tales, sketches, and thought-experiments, forty of which are collected here. This edition contains many acknowledged classics, but also collects some of the less celebrated gems found in the pages of the magazines and newspapers in which Wells learned his craft. This book contains text based on the stories' first magazine appearances, with an introduction, commentary, and notes on the periodicals for which Wells wrote.

ABOUT THE SERIES: For over 100 years Oxford World's Classics has made available the widest range of literature from around theglobe. Each affordable volume reflects Oxford's commitment to scholarship, providing the most accurate text plus a wealth of othervaluable features, including expert introductions by leading authorities, helpful notes to clarify the text, up-to-date bibliographies forfurther study, and much more.

Biodiversity Net Gain (BNG) is a conservation approach designed to ensure that any development or land-use change results in a measurable increase in biodiversity compared to the baseline conditions prior to the project. This concept transcends the traditional mitigation of environmental impacts, emphasising the enhancement and restoration of ecosystems and biodiversity. Biodiversity Net Gain Law and Practice provides a comprehensive understanding of the legal frameworks and policies that govern the protection and enhancement of biodiversity. This book explores the intersection of environmental, planning, and development laws and highlight how these regulations work together to ensure sustainable development and conservation efforts. It looks at key legislation such as the Planning Act 2008, the Town and Country Planning Act 1990, and the National Planning Policy Framework. Through case studies, legal analysis, and policy discussions, this book illustrates the practical applications and challenges of implementing biodiversity laws, and compares their success in the UK, Europe, India, Australia, Japan and South Africa. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Environmental Law online service.

Studies in Contemporary Women’s Writing

"This excellent volume-the first book-length study in English on Despentes's writing-is rich, timely and insightful. Schaal's rigorous analysis contextualises Despentes's work carefully in relation to contemporary writing and thought, highlighting its intersections with gender theory, in particular. The book is the fruit of extensive knowledge of Despentes's work across several media and will be of interest to students and scholars in gender studies, literary studies and contemporary cultural studies." (Professor Natalie Edwards, Head of the School of Modern Languages and Professor of Literature in French, University of Bristol) 

"Schaal's academic treatment of Despentes's work manages to maintain the appealing edge of the author's approach while exercising impressive critical astuteness. The book is thoughtfully considered: from the Reflexivity and Positionality Statement that opens the book to the pedagogically minded vast bibliography at the end. Grrrl Writing will appeal to scholars and students interested in Despentes, French feminisms, political fiction, and women writers in an increasingly self-reflexive literary economy." (Anne Brancky, Associate Professor of French and Francophone Studies, Vassar College)

"Schaal offers us a very exhaustive study of Despentes's novels from Baise-moi to Cher connard. The author engages with all current criticism (in French and English) to demonstrate the evolution of the politics and aesthetics of protest that Despentes's novels perform. Questions of social vulnerability and fragility assigned by (sexual or racial) identities are at the center of Schaal's reflections. This book is a must-read if you want to undertake research on the author Despentes and the French feminist protest novel." (Catherine Mavrikakis, Professor, Département des littératures de langue française, Université de Montreal)

When Virginie Despentes (1969) published her provocative debut novel Baise-moi [Rape Me] in 1994, no one could have anticipated how she would gradually become a literary, feminist, and punk icon. This book is the first to adopt a holistic, interdisciplinary approach to Despentes's novels and evolution as an author. 

Using feminist, queer, literary, and punk theories, the book examines how Despentes has developed and refined her Grrrl writing in Baise-moi, Les Chiennes savantes [The Learned Bitches, 1996], and Les Jolies choses [Pretty Things, 1998]. The study specifically illustrates how her unique authorial politics, infused with punk, genre- and genderbending praxes, have provided an acerbic critique of a still largely heteropatriarchal French society. Despentes's Grrrl writing denounces how heteropatriarchy engenders and thrives on injustice and social inequities, but also how conventions at play in classic or populist literary genres can perpetuate oppression as well.

Grrrl Writing

A nation on the cusp of war. A king ousted from his capital by the people. A society on the brink of collapse. From Jonathan Healey comes a gripping history about the months that sent England into civil war 'An old-fashioned Westminster thriller . . . You could hardly find a more engrossing or exciting story' DOMINIC SANDBROOK, SUNDAY TIMES 'A rollicking history, packed with fire and excitement *****' DANIEL BROOKS, TELEGRAPH 'The House of Cards-ish drama remains gripping to the last' LITERARY REVIEW After years of tension between a king and his people, in 1641 England reaches a semblance of peace. Armies have disbanded, legislation has passed to ensure Parliament will continue to sit, and the people are tentatively optimistic. Radical politicians congratulate themselves on a stunning political victory. Royal servants are coming to accept an altered future. Then comes winter. With it, chaos, protests, political deadlock, and eventually a remarkable attempt by King Charles I to destroy his opponents. On 4 January 1642 Charles marches on the small riverside city of Westminster at the head of an army, seeking to arrest five Members of Parliament. In doing so, he sets in motion a series of events that will lead to bloodshed and war, changing a nation forever. Why did the English Civil War break out? The Blood in Winter tells the story of an English people's great political awakening, and of a nation that splintered into bloodshed at a terrifying speed. Jonathan Healey recreates the claustrophobic atmosphere of the day, with rowdy protestors in the streets and London blanketed in coal smoke. It is a story of remarkable but flawed characters, all faced with unpalatable choices, and a frightening picture of a society in profound distress.

Speech Acoustics of English as a Second Language is a pioneering study that bridges the science of phonetics with the practice of language teaching. Through rigorous acoustic analysis of prosody, stress, and intonation, the book reveals how first-language interference shapes the acquisition of English in multilingual contexts. It foregrounds underrepresented regional dialects-including Hindko, Brahui, Bagri, Odki, and Marwari-advancing linguistic equity while offering fresh insights into the challenges faced by ESL learners. Combining methodological transparency with accessible exposition, this volume serves as both a scholarly contribution to phonetics and a practical resource for educators, curriculum designers, and researchers. It reshapes our understanding of speech acoustics in second-language learning and provides actionable pathways for improving pedagogy in diverse classrooms. Language is more than words-it is rhythm, melody, and sound. In multilingual societies like Pakistan, where dozens of regional languages coexist, English is often learned as a second language. But how do speakers of Hindko, Bagri, Brahui, Odki, Marwari, and other languages actually sound when they speak English? What subtle shifts in pitch, stress, and vowel quality reveal the influence of their mother tongues? This book, Speech Acoustics of English as Second &amp; First Languages Spoken in Pakistan, answers those questions with clarity and compassion. It is not just a technical study of speech sounds; it is a journey into the voices of Pakistan's diverse communities, showing how language, identity, and education intersect. Speech Acoustics of English as Second &amp; First Languages Spoken in Pakistan sets a new benchmark for inclusive, data-driven approaches to language education. It is a book that listens-to the voices of students, to the rhythms of dialects, and to the needs of educators. By combining precision with empathy, it shows that speech is not just sound-it is identity, culture, and connection. Unlike many academic texts, this book avoids dry technicality.

Jane Eyre ranks as one of the greatest and most perennially popular works of English fiction. Although the poor but plucky heroine is outwardly of plain appearance, she possesses an indomitable spirit, a sharp wit and great courage.She is forced to battle against the exigencies of a cruel guardian, a harsh employer and a rigid social order. All of which circumscribe her life and position when she becomes governess to the daughter of the mysterious, sardonic and attractive Mr Rochester.However, there is great kindness and warmth in this epic love story, which is set against the magnificent backdrop of the Yorkshire moors. Ultimately the grand passion of Jane and Rochester is called upon to survive cruel revelation, loss and reunion, only to be confronted with tragedy.This edition includes an introduction by Dr Sally Minogue.
