The Longman Cultural Editions series presents classic works in cultural, critical, and literary contexts. Each Cultural Edition consists of the complete texts of important literary works, reliably edited, headed by an inviting introduction, and supplemented by helpful annotations; a table of dates to track its composition, publication, and public reception in relation to biographical, cultural and historical events; and a guide for further inquiry and study. Do not combine with Longman Classics Series, which are abridged works.
