Beschreibung

***AUTHOR APPROVED*** 'The two Andrew Lang volumes are balanced, well-researched and as comprehensive as we are likely to get, given the range of Lang's output. The explanatory notes are detailed, thorough and very helpful; the appendices on key names and ethnic groups referred to by Lang are particularly welcome. Overall, the editors have thoughtfully and helpfully catered for the great range of readers who will use these volumes.' William Gray, Director, Sussex Centre for Folklore, Fairy Tales and Fantasy, University of Chichester The Edinburgh Critical Edition of the Selected Writings of Andrew Lang This is the first critical edition of the works of Andrew Lang (1844-1912), the Scottish writer whose enormous output spanned the whole range of late nineteenth-century intellectual culture. Neglected since his death, partly because of the diversity of his interests and the volume of his writing, his cultural centrality and the interdisciplinary nature of his work make him a vital figure for contemporary scholars. Key Features - Unpublished archival material - Critical introductions to the major areas of his work - Full explanatory notes Andrew Teverson is Professor of English Literature and Associate Dean for the Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences at Kingston University, London. Alexandra Warwick is Professor of English Studies and Head of the Department of English, Linguistics and Cultural Studies at the University of Westminster.
