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.

'It is required
You do awake your faith'

Variously seen as a romance, a comedy, and a tragic fairytale, The Winter's Tale is a radical experiment with genre, character, and storytelling towards the end of Shakespeare's career as a playwright. Addressing key cultural, religious, and theatrical contexts, this edition's introduction explores the play's preoccupation with fiction and game-play, its fraught representation of misogyny and female agency, its foregrounding of nonhuman objects, animals and creatures (toys, spiders, bears, flowers, ghosts, statues), and its provocations on different kinds of faith and magical thinking. The introduction emphasises what was and is startlingly new and urgent about the play, in the early seventeenth century and in our own historical moment. But it also attends to the play's retrospective impulses as a work that looks back, achingly, at 'old tales' on the stage and beyond.

The New Oxford Shakespeare offers authoritative editions of Shakespeare's works with introductory materials designed to encourage new interpretations of the plays and poems. Using the text from the landmark The New Oxford Shakespeare Complete Works: Modern Critical Edition, these volumes offer readers the latest thinking on the authentic texts (collated from all surviving original versions of Shakespeare's work) alongside innovative introductions from leading scholars. The texts are accompanied by a comprehensive set of critical apparatus to give readers the best resources to help understand and enjoy Shakespeare's work.

The Winter's Tale

Cybersecurity has become a contractual issue, yet many legal professionals are expected to deal with it without a technical background. Cybersecurity Contracts Essentials provides the essential knowledge needed to understand the foundations of the field, interpret technical issues and assess their legal and commercial consequences. Covering software security, identity management, communications, security testing and managed security services, it explains how cybersecurity obligations, risks and responsibilities are translated into contracts. Written for lawyers and other legal professionals, the book offers a practical basis from which readers can develop their own informed understanding of cybersecurity and work more confidently with technical specialists, suppliers and clients. This title is included in Bloomsbury Professional's Cyber Law online service.

Cybersecurity Contracts Essentials

WINNER OF THE 2026 TLS ACKERLEY PRIZE FOR AUTOBIOGRAPHY Born in 1958, the only child of a dinner lady and a sheet-metal worker, Geoff Dyer grew up in a world shaped by the Second World War. It was a time of Airfix models and wargames, conkers and frugality: having splurged on a mono record player, Geoff's dad discovers it's a portal to endless expenditure and funding for records is abruptly withdrawn. But far from being a story of hardship overcome, Homework is a celebration of opportunities afforded to Dyer's generation. A grammar-school education leads to books, prog rock (on a new stereo), girls, beer and, eventually, a place at Oxford. In Homework, Dyer returns to his early life and asks what it means to live through an era of complex social transformation.

A Novel

Caller Unknown

''As flies to th' wanton boys are we to th' gods:
They bite us for their sport.'

Set in the recesses of British antiquity, King Lear broods on gift-giving, gratitude, service and love; the bonds that sustain human life within families, communities and the state. Concerned with what remains and what is possible when these bonds crack, cool off or come apart, the tragedy forces repeated confrontations with abysmal cruelty, which it yokes together with instances of compassion that seem chillingly frail by comparison. By the end of the twentieth century, Lear took its place not only as Shakespeare's greatest work, but also his best play for our times, fitting then, in its anguish and denials of consolation, as it is now. Its wild mixtures of levity and terror, kindness and malevolence, what came to be called its absurdity, was prized as especially modern.

The New Oxford Shakespeare

King Lear

'No, no, I am but shadow of myself...'

Henry VI, Part I paints a vivid picture of political ambition, civil unrest, and war. One of Shakespeare's most collaborative plays, it was a theatrical hit when it was first performed in 1592. Scenes alternate between conflict at home and on foreign soil: between the growing civil dissention that would lead to the Wars of the Roses and the battles of the Hundred Years' War over England's claim to the French throne. It is an action-packed play, but one that offers a profound meditation on individual sacrifice and heroism, corruption, and the costs of conflict. 

Amy Lidster's introduction examines the play's historical, political, and theatrical contexts, offering a compelling analysis of the affective potential of theatre, language, and narrative to effect political change and shape our understanding of the history that it dramatizes. The introduction explores the play's use of sources, its position within a trilogy of plays about the reign of Henry VI, and its prominent but conflicted representation of France's defender, Joan la Pucelle (Joan of Arc). The introduction offers a fresh analysis of the vibrant theatrical repertory into which the play emerged — one that was marked by politically invested drama that staged diverse, transnational histories.

Henry VI, Part I

'Born in a tempest when my mother died! This world to me is as a lasting storm.'

Pericles, Prince of Tyre is a tale of adventure, fateful journeys, true love, and marvels. The play recycles a millennia-old story of a prince who sails around a mythic Mediterranean, starts a family, loses his wife and daughter, and is miraculously reunited with them years later. It packs in exciting incidents, from shipwreck to storms to murder, and a colourful cast of characters including knights, assassins, pirates, brothelkeepers, and the goddess of chastity. 

Written by Shakespeare and George Wilkins, Pericles capitalises on the seventeenth-century vogue for tragicomic romance and it proved to be a hit on the stage and in print. In the twenty-first century, Pericles has again surged in popularity. Inspiring novels by bestselling writers and theatrical adaptations around the globe, this ancient story is used to explore contemporary concerns such as displacement, the treatment of women, the abuse of authority, and the persistence of hope in the face of tragedy.
