A new semester is upon us and with that comes yet another exciting list of new and forthcoming publications from Broadview. Here is a quick look at what you can expect to see coming off the presses this season:
THE BROADVIEW EDITIONS SERIES:
“a series in which the editing is something of an art form.” – Washington Post
——————————————————————————————————————
The Jew of Malta — recently published!
By Christopher Marlowe
Edited by Mathew R. Martin
“The great strength of Mathew Martin’s edition is the ease of access it gives scholars and students to one of Marlowe’s strangest and most disturbing plays. He achieves this not simply by exemplary annotations, but by framing Marlowe’s text within an introduction and richly informative appendices that place the play securely in its contemporary social, cultural, and political contexts.” – Richard Allen Cave, Emeritus Professor of Drama and Theatre Arts, Royal Holloway, University of London

Gulliver’s Travels — forthcoming February 2012
By Jonathan Swift
Edited by Allan Ingram
Dangerously topical in its own time and much debated ever since, Gulliver’s Travels is among those works of English literature that entrap and challenge readers in every period. This edition uses the 1735 edition as its copy text, and uses the original, unmodernized text. Historical appendices provide a context for the novel’s literary models, scientific influences, and complex political and religious allusions.
US&CDN $13.95 • 978-1-55111-979-3
As You Like It (An Internet Shakespeare Edition) — forthcoming February 2012
By William Shakespeare
Edited by David Bevington
In the introduction to this new edition, David Bevington traces the complex relationships between the characters in the play, and explores the history of its criticism from Samuel Johnson to the twenty-first century. Illustrations and extended discussions of myth and folklore alluded to in the play are interleaved with the text, and appendices provide excerpts from key sources for the play.

The Future of an Illusion — forthcoming February 2012
By Sigmund Freud
Edited by Todd Dufresne
Translated by Gregory C. Richter
Included in this volume is Oskar Pfister’s critical engagement with Freud’s views on religion. Pfister, a Swiss pastor and lay analyst, defends mature religion from Freud’s “scientism.” In addition to Freud’s The Future of an Illusion and Pfister’s “The Illusion of a Future,” this volume also includes key contemporaneous excerpts from Freud’s Totem and Taboo, Civilization and Its Discontents, and Moses and Monotheism.

The Broadview Anthology of British Literature, Volume 5: The Victorian Era
Second Edition — recently published!
“With the publication of The Broadview Anthology of British Literature, teachers and students in survey and upper-level undergraduate courses have a compelling alternative to the established anthologies by Norton and Longman. … This is a very real intellectual, as well as pedagogical, achievement.” – Nicholas Watson, Harvard University
For the second edition of this volume a number of changes have been made. Elizabeth Gaskell’s “Our Society at Cranford” has been added, as has Anthony Trollope’s “A Turkish Bath.” Charles Dickens is now represented with a number of short selections. The selection of poems by D.G. Rossetti has been expanded considerably (the entire 1870 House of Life sequence is included), as has that by Michael Field. Several of the Contexts sections in the volume have been expanded.

The Broadview Anthology of Nineteenth-Century British Performance
— recently published!
Edited by Tracy C. Davis
“This outstanding collection will change how we think about nineteenth-century theatre. Tracy Davis’s beautifully edited and footnoted selection ranges from monologues to minstrels, musicals to melodrama, military drama to the New Women problem play. I know of no better introduction to the lavish, witty, foolish, and romantic plays of the period; the range of subject matter and the exuberant music and acting will astonish and delight readers.” – Martha Vicinus, Eliza M. Mosher Distinguished University Professor Emerita, University of Michigan
