Critical Editions is a series intended to bring literary texts closer to students, of both postgraduate and undergraduate levels.

• The books in this series are introduced and edited by reputed academicians and are supported by their experience of teaching and interacting with students over a number of years.
• Each edition explores the structure and texture of the text chosen and places it in its literary and cultural context.
• The complete and unabridged text of the work follows.
• Annotations and glosses are provided wherever it is felt that students need help in order to understand the original.
• The editions close with representative critical essays, a set of topics that can be used for classroom discussion or as guidelines for analysis, and a select bibliography of critical sources.
