Oxford World's Classics

'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.

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

The Winter's Tale

A PBS Great American Read Top 100 Pick"Moby-Dick is a book you come back to, again and again, to find new treasures and delights, a storehouse of language, incident and strange wisdom." - The GuardianIn celebration of the 250th anniversary of the United States, HarperCollins is proud to present this library of American classics drawn from our storied catalog. Moby Dick is the extraordinary story of Captain Ahab's all-consuming hunt for the leviathan Moby Dick, an epic tale of adventure, free will, and man vs. nature, beginning with one of the most memorable opening lines in literary history: "Call me Ishmael."Thus begins a famous journey-the voyage of the whaling ship Pequod and its embattled, monomaniacal Captain Ahab. Ishmael quickly learns that the Pequod's captain sails for revenge against the elusive Moby Dick, a sperm whale with a snow-white hump and mottled skin that destroyed Ahab's former vessel and left him crippled. As the Pequod sails deeper through the nights and into the sea, the divisions between man and nature begin to blur-so do the lines between good and evil, as the fates of the ship's crewmen become increasingly unclear....Melville's classic tale of obsession and the sea, one of the most important and enduring masterworks of nineteenth-century literature is a riveting drama, exploring rage, hope, destiny, and the deepest questions of moral truth.<ul> <li>A BEAUTIFUL PACKAGE WITH FLAPS: Featuring French flaps and a unique vivid cover design, each book in the collection is published as a deluxe trade paperback that is a part of a stunning series look.</li> <li>HARPER COLLINS AMERICAN CLASSICS: This series includes timeless novels, poetry, children's books, and groundbreaking nonfiction that has shaped American thought, literature, and identity across generations.</li> <li>AMERICA'S PUBLISHER: Since its founding in 1817, no American publisher has been so entwined in the history of American letters.

The product of neural reconditioning and physiological alteration, she is a living weapon, known for her cold brutality and deadly beauty.

'The moon's an arrant thief,
And her pale fire she snatches from the sun.'

How should society treat its bankrupts? What are the ethics of debt collection? What does it mean to be rich, to be poor? And can you ever really buy friendship? In Timon of Athens, Shakespeare and Middleton pose these and other questions as they chart the dramatic downfall of an Athenian nobleman, exposing the corrosive effects of money and status. At once a critique of wealth inequality and a meditation on the fragility of human bonds, the play presents Timon as one of the playwright's most puzzling and enigmatic creations. In her introduction, Sophie Battell connects early modern debates on usury to the continuing reverberations of the recent financial crisis and global recession.

On her eighteenth birthday, Lady Truthful Newington—nicknamed “Newt”— is dreaming about her upcoming trip to London, where the streets are filled with magic and eligible young lords. Before she goes, she is to inherit her family’s treasure: the Newington Emerald. A dazzling heart-shaped gem, the Emerald contains mysterious and powerful magic.When the Emerald is stolen, Newt sets off to recover it. Her plan entails dressing up as a man, mustache included, as no well-bred young lady should be seen out and about on her own. While disguised, Newt encounters the handsome but insufferable Major Harnett, who joins the hunt for the missing Emerald. Offended by her new ally’s high-handedness but eager for assistance, Newt strives to conceal her true identity from Harnett, little guessing that he too is not as he appears.A sweeping adventure ensues filled with sinister fey, fancy dresses, witty banter, daring seaborne escapes, grand balls, and a sorceress whose evil plot threatens everyone from Newt herself to the Prince Regent. And as Newt and Harnett face danger together, each realizes there is more to the other than meets the eye—and more alarming yet, they may actually be falling in love.The New York Times bestselling author of Sabriel, Garth Nix, shares his own love for the Regency romantasy genre in a charmed world where everyone has something to hide.Tropes: <ul><li>Mistaken Identity</li><li>Enemies to Lovers</li><li>Forced Proximity</li><li>Dark Fey</li><li>Slow Burn</li><li>Regency Romance</li></ul>

A Regency Romantasy

Newt's Emerald

''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.

King Lear

My Reading

A book on the experience of reading Shakespeare's 'dark plays'.

As part of the My Reading series, King Lear is a personal meditation on a great literary work. Arthur W. Frank brings a career of studying illness and suffering to consider how King Lear can aid people whose lives need help. Reading King Lear leads Frank to an encounter with his own old age and provides a source of consolation and companionship. This book does not try to minimize vulnerabilities, but it shows what is fully human, and thus shared, in suffering. The book introduces readers to King Lear and it invites those who know the play to a new consideration for its ability to affect people's lives.

Shakespeare's Dark Consolations

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.
