Series Details:

Series Editor: Terence Hawkes, Emeritus Professor, University of Cardiff, UK

The New Accents series was launched over twenty-five years ago, and changed the face of literary studies. It brought the latest in literary theory to students and academics and paved the way for undergraduate teaching on essential new topics and approaches. The New Accents volumes are now firmly established as classic texts and are still widely used by students and teachers. In celebration of the series, many of the best selling titles have been released as new editions. Each new edition includes a new chapter and an updated bibliography, together with a new Series Editor's preface by Terence Hawkes.
