Jonathan Swift
This 'Norton Critical Edition' presents the rull range of Swift's writing, including not only the major literary prose works but also substantial poetic and political writings. The texts are accompanied by annotations and an introduction.
Francis Ponge
There are three reasons why this book, the first on Ponge published in Britain, is neither chronological nor generic. First, the volumes Ponge has published gather texts covering a wide period. Second, as Ponge points out, 'poetry' and 'theory' are often inseparable in his work. Third, the suppositions and aims underlying Ponge's work have remained consistent from earliest days. The particular forms their expression has taken have evolved, and different aspects have at different times been uppermost; yet Ponge's texts often contain echoes of, or references to, earlier texts, and no one manner has ever supplanted any other. For concision as well as coherence, this is a synthetic thematic study (taking technique as a theme in this respect), indicating developments or variations under the different thematic heads, preceded by a brief narrative sketch of Ponge's life and work.
Swift's Politics
A contextual reassessment of Swift's political writing concentrating on A Tale of a Tub and Gulliver's Travels.
