Book Description
Excerpt from The Mill on the Floss When George Eliot had finished a novel, she did not care to look at it again - e.g., she said of Romola, "I have not read it for ten years"; and when she is "deep in the fourth volume" of Deronda she "cannot any longer care for the first volume that is past and done for." But she always read new proofs scrupulously and was eager to make minor emendations, as shown by her thanking Mrs. Blackwood for her "hints on equine matters," by her hope that Mr. Blackwood will "rate the printers a little about their spacing," and by her saying of a new edition of Middlemarch, "I am anxious to correct the sheer both in relation to mistakes already standing, and to prevent the accumulation of others." Hence I have thought it worth while to follow the Cabinet Edition of 1878, which in many minor matters is an improvement upon the first form. The only alterations in spelling (except normalizing Sinbad and Sindbad, and changing the final vowel of particulum) are Americanizing forms like waggon and the terminations our, eable, ise, and lled. The punctuation has been altered in only two ways: inserting periods after Mr and Mrs, deleting about two dozen commas and semicolons before dashes. On what principles should this edition be annotated? Since there are in the reflective passages hundreds of words and allusions of which the ordinary high-school pupil is ignorant, and since explaining them all would convert a novel into a reference-book, notes have been limited by this test: Will a note add to a reader's pleasure by giving him a better understanding of the story? Only an omniscient sympathy could know certainly whether it is wise to define "pier-glass" and "comforter," to explain "sang froid" and omit "stoat"; but a real effort has been made in every case to decide whether "this will bring out the picture." Few biographical references have been given, and few definitions of words that can be found in a desk dictionary. The facts of George Eliot's life are mostly taken from J. W. Cross's three-volume biography - indeed there is hardly any other source. Mathilde Blind's Life has furnished some added items of interest, and Oscar Browning's a few.

Book Description
The long-awaited penultimate volume--"the very summit of Proust's art" (Slate)--in the acclaimed Penguin translation of Marcel Proust's greatest work, in time for the 150th anniversary of his birth "The greatest literary work of the twentieth century." --The New York Times A Penguin Classics Deluxe Edition, with flaps and deckle-edged paper Peter Collier's acclaimed translation of The Fugitive introduces a new generation of American readers to the literary riches of Marcel Proust. The sixth and penultimate volume in Penguin Classics' superb new edition of In Search of Lost Time--the first completely new translation of Proust's masterpiece since the 1920s--brings us a more comic and lucid prose than readers of English have previously been able to enjoy. "Miss Albertine has left!" So begins The Fugitive, the second part of what is often referred to as "the Albertine cycle," or books five and six of In Search of Lost Time. As Marcel struggles to endure Albertine's departure and vanquish his loss, he ends up in an anguished search for the essential truth of the enigmatic fugitive, whose love affairs with other women provoke in him jealousy and a new understanding of sexuality. Eventually, he lets go of Albertine and begins to find himself, discovering his own long-lost inner sources of creativity. For more than seventy-five years, Penguin has been the leading publisher of classic literature in the English-speaking world. With more than 2,000 titles, Penguin Classics represents a global bookshelf of the best works throughout history and across genres and disciplines.
