Third Edition
“A highly-readable translation and very inclusive selection of critical responses, making this the best edition of the text for an undergraduate readership.” —Christian M. Billing, University of Hull
“It is quite thorough for one semester, and bears up well for ongoing study. This is a very well-thought-out concept for such a seminal work. It more than meets the requirements for my upper-level undergraduate courses.” —Jeff Steele, Principia College
MoreWilliam Shakespeare, Peter Hulme, William H. Sherman
Second Edition
“Presenting an utterly reliable text, together with a rich collection of social, historical, and performance-based materials, this edition illuminates our understanding of the play as it has been interpreted traditionally, while simultaneously pointing the way to innovative, revisionist readings for the future.”
—S. P. Cerasano, Colgate University
“The Norton Critical Tempest is a truly wonderful resource: it illuminates Shakespeare’s most open-ended play with a wealth of richly suggestive contextual materials—on magic, on human perfectibility, on travel and alien worlds, on colonial domination, on religion and politics. Providing a well-selected sampling of interpretive criticism and artistic rewritings, the edition will inspire students to become researchers and re-creators themselves as they bring these texts into conversation with Shakespeare’s magical and enigmatic creation.”
—Lynne Magnusson, University of Toronto

Emily Brontë, Alexandra Lewis

The reprinted 1850 poems and the contemporary reviews unveil insights unsuspected by the majority of readers; and the selection of current views and criticism is sensitive and representative.” —N. S. Asbridge, Central Connecticut State University
“A fine new edition at an affordable price.” —Bernard Duyfhuizen, University of Wisconsin–Eau Claire

MoreWilliam Shakespeare, Robert S. Miola
Second Edition

Benjamin R. Foster
Second Edition
“This scrupulous new translation of The Epic of Gilgamesh manages to convey much of the archaic power and even something of the occasional humor of the ancient Mesopotamian poem. What is especially valuable is that the translators, by collating passages from the different ancient versions of this epic that have survived only in fragments, have made available many vivid narrative episodes that will be new to most English readers of the poem.”
—Robert Alter, University of California, Berkeley
MoreFyodor Dostoevsky, Michael R. Katz
First Edition
“These are the voices of Crime and Punishment in all their original, dazzling variety: pensive, urgent, defiant, and triumphant. This new translation by Michael Katz revives the intensity Dostoevsky’s first readers experienced.” —Susan McReynolds, Northwestern University
“Mesmerizingly good . . . the best, truest translation of Dostoevsky’s masterpiece into English. It’s a magnificent, almost terrifying achievement of translation, one that makes its predecessors, however worthy, seem safe and polite.” —Steve Donoghue, Open Letters Monthly

Harriet Jacobs, Frances Smith Foster, Richard Yarborough
