After one hundred years, critical production on The Turn of the Screw shows no sign of abating. A long-standing controversy over the 'reality' or otherwise of the ghosts has given way to a general recognition of textual ambiguity, and recent developments in criticism, including Feminist, Materialist and Poststructuralist readings, have now brought out fundamental underlying issues of gender, class and sexuality. Also included in this volume are essays on What Maisie Knew; one of James's most lucid, yet aesthetically and morally complicated novels.

This comprehensive and inclusive anthology is the best of its kind.

"The Malcontent" is considered one of the most original and complex plays of the Elizabethan theatre. The aim of this edition is to offer answers to the various questions raised by the play and relate it to the aesthetic cross-currents flowing in the 17th century.
