This edition of a widely-taught literary work reprints an authoritative text together with five essays that approach the work from five contemporary critical perspectives: cultural studies, Marxist, feminist, deconstructionist and psychoanalytic. The editorial apparatus introduces students to both the text and the critical perspectives presented.
