The series provides detailed coverage of the values and debates that colour the writing of particular authors and considers their novels, plays, and poetry against this background. Set in their social, cultural, and political contexts, classic books take on a new meaning for modern readers. And since readers, like writers, have their own contexts, the series considers how critical interpretations have altered over time, and how films, sequels, and other popular adaptations relate to the new age in which they are produced.  \nMichael H. Whitworth is a Lecturer in English and Fellow of Merton College, Oxford. The author of Einstein’s Wake: Relativity, Metaphor, and Modernist Literature (2001), he has also written articles and chapters on Joseph Conrad, T. S. Eliot, and Virginia Woolf, and on the relations of science and literature.  \noxford world ’s classics  \nFor over 100 years Oxford World’s Classics have brought readers closer to the world’s great literature. Now with over 700 titles––from the 4,000-year-old myths of Mesopotamia to the twentieth century’s greatest novels––the series makes available lesser-known as well as celebrated writing.  \nThe pocket-sized hardbacks of the early years contained introductions by Virginia Woolf, T. S. Eliot, Graham Greene, and other literary figures which enriched the experience of reading. Today the series is recognized for its fine scholarship and reliability in texts that span world literature, drama and poetry, religion, philosophy and politics. Each edition includes perceptive commentary and essential background information to meet the changing needs of readers.  \nOXFORD WORLD’S CLASSICS  \nMICHAEL H .
