Matthew Arnold

This volume in the 21st Century Oxford Authors series offers students an authoritative, comprehensive selection of the work of Matthew Arnold (1822-1888). Arnold's many facets--as poet, educationalist, literary critic, cultural commentator, and religious controversialist--are represented; and the text is fully annotated.

Women and Water in Global Fiction

Symbols and tropes of liquidity have long been connected to notions of the feminine, and therefore with orthodox constructions of femininity and womanhood. Women and Water in Global Fiction brings together an array of studies of this phenomenon as seen in writing by and about women from around the world.

Moral Theory

Originally published in 1921, updated in 1932 and re-issued in 1966 with an introduction by Stephan Körner, this book remains a classic introduction to the study of ethics. It clearly explains both the Aristotelian and the Kantian approach to ethical problems, by combining the advantages of a historical and systematic introduction.
