Written by an editorial team whose members are all actively engaged in teaching and in current scholarship, Masters of British Literature is a concise, but comprehensive survey of the key writers whose classic works have shaped British literature.Featuring major works by the most influential authors in the British literary tradition–from Chaucer, Shakespeare, Donne, Milton, and Swift to Wollstonecraft, Keats, Joyce, and Rushdie–the two compact anthologies in this package offer comprehensive coverage of the enduring works of the British literary tradition from the Middle Ages through the Restoration and the Eighteenth Century, then from the Romantics through the twentieth century. Core texts are complemented by contextual materials that help students understand the literary, historical, and cultural environments out which these texts arose, and within which they find their richest meaning.

From Longman's new Cultural Editions Series, Hamlet, edited by Constance Jordan, includes the play and contextual materials from the era of Shakespeare. This edition represents Shakespeare's text as it appears in the most authoritative of early editions, the Folio, published in 1623, and it supplies readers with useful footnotes to the interpretation of the text. It also includes brief samples of works by Shakespeare's contemporaries in a section entitled “Contexts”; these will help readers to understand the historical setting and the cultural ideas that helped shape the meaning of Shakespeare's play. By listening to these voices from the past, readers can approach the play with some knowledge of why Hamlet asks the questions he does and of why the character himself, the creation of a distant century, also seems so much a part of our own world.
