About
Oxford Literature
Sophie
Goldsworthy, Oxford's Commissioning Editor for Literature, writes:
"Oxford University Press publishes
one of the most prestigious literature lists in the world. With over 1,000
titles in print we can offer a range and level of scholarship equalled
by few other publishers. The literature list has a broad remit, reflected
in the range of publications scheduled for the coming months, from high-profile
scholarly editions - including Henry VIII and Romeo and Juliet in the Oxford
Shakespeare series, the first volume in the Oxford English Texts edition
of the works of Oscar Wilde, and further volumes of the letters of Charles
Dickens and Charlotte BrontÎ - to the very best of current research
in the academy and the latest works from major critics, including Thomas
McFarland, Claude Rawson, Morton Paley, and Piero Boitani.
Major highlights this year include
Christopher Ricksís Oxford Book of English Verse, published in October.
Created in 1900 by Arthur Quiller-Couch, selected anew in 1972 by Helen
Gardner, The Oxford Book of English Verse has established itself as the
foremost anthology of English poetry, and now bridges more than seven centuries
of the poet's art.
Oxford is committed to the support
and dissemination of scholarship and learning. We publish the very best
scholarly works from all over the world, balancing commercial and scholarly
aims to offer our authors and readers excellent and innovative publishing.
The high standards of the books we publish is matched by our commitment
to working closely and effectively with our authors. If you wish to submit
a book for consideration, or would simply like more information about our
publishing programme, please contact me at OUP and I will be delighted
to talk to you."
