Shy and penniless Fanny Price is brought up on her uncle Sir Thomas Bertram’s estate, Mansfield Park, as an act of charity. Sir Thomas also owns land—and benefits from the labour of enslaved people—in the Caribbean colony of Antigua. Fanny is miserable until her kind cousin Edmund Bertram takes her under his wing. Having secretly fallen in love with him, Fanny suffers severely when his head is turned by the captivating Mary Crawford. Fanny’s quiet fortitude makes Mansfield Park one of Austen’s most psychologically astute novels.

Edited with an Introduction by Juliette Wells.

During an eventful season at Bath, young, naïve Catherine Morland experiences fashionable society for the first time, both its pleasures and its pitfalls. She is delighted with her new acquaintances: flirtatious Isabella, who shares Catherine’s love of Gothic romance and horror, and sophisticated Henry and Eleanor Tilney, who invite her to their father’s mysterious house, Northanger Abbey. There, Cather learns the danger of an active imagination. With its broad comedy and irrepressible heroine, this is the most youthful and optimistic of Jane Austen’s works.

Edited with an Introduction by Patricia A. Matthew.

In the vaulted Gothic towers of Notre-Dame Cathedral lives Quasimodo, the hunchbacked
bell ringer. Mocked and shunned for his appearance, he is pitied only by Esmeralda, a
beautiful Roma street dancer to whom he becomes completely devoted. Esmeralda,
however, has also attracted the attention of the sinister archdeacon Claude Frollo, and
when she rejects his lecherous approaches, Frollo hatches a plot to destroy her that only
Quasimodo can prevent. Victor Hugo's masterpiece brings to life the medieval Paris he
loved, and mourns its passing, in one of the greatest historical romances of the nineteenth
century.
