DESCRIPTION:
"Excellent reference books" according to librarian's daughter. I am just a casual adult (non-student) reader, however, I like the insights provided by the "Novels for Students" series. These books are generally well edited and feature well-researched critical overviews and criticisms.
Each volume in the "Novels for Students Series contains easily accessible and context-rich discussions of the literary and historical significance of approximately 15 major works from various cultures and time periods, including concise synopses of plot, characters and themes; a brief author biography; a discussion of the story's cultural and historical significance; and excerpted criticism.
