Palgrave Literature Series
Bedford Cultural Editions Series
Series Editors: J. Paul Hunter and William E. Cain
Particularly appropriate for courses that emphasise a new historicist or cultural studies approach, Bedford Cultural Editions, reprint authoritative editions of literary works with an abundance of thematically arranged historical and cultural documents. The documents - relevant excerpts from such sources as diaries, letters, periodicals, conduct books, legal documents, and literary works that parallel the themes of the main text - are carefully selected to give students a rich sense of a work's historical and cultural contexts.
Each volume also provides a full complement of useful pedagogical aids:
- A historical and critical introduction to the work
- A chronology
- An introduction to each thematic unit of documents
- Headnotes for the documents
- Text annotations
- Maps and illustrations
- An extensive bibliography
