George Douglas Brown's The House with the Green Shutters (Scotnotes Ser. No. 3)
by Iain Crichton SmithThe House with the Green Shutters is a dark, provocative novel, shining a harsh and unforgiving light into the inner recesses of small-town Scotland at the turn of the last century. Written as a response to social change, and as an antidote to the sentimentality of the ‘Kailyard’ school, the author called it “a brutal and bloody work” – although a thread of sly humour runs through the book as well. Iain Crichton Smith’s Scotnote explores this post-romantic masterpiece through a precise analysis of themes, characters, structure and language, and is ideal for senior school pupils and students.

Animal Farm (PDF)
by George Orwell Trevor MillumGeorge Orwell's fairy tale with a sting not only describes a farmyard rebellion and its consequences, but also provokes comparisons with the twentieth century political world. Farm animals drive out their master, and themselves take over. They set out to govern on the principle that all animals are equal; fairly rapidly some animals become more equal than others. A modern fable on the history of a revolution, with excellent excuses at every step of the descent into dictatorship for each perversion of the original ideas.

Tess of the d'Urbervilles (PDF)
by Thomas HardySet in Hardy's Wessex, Tess is a moving novel of hypocrisy and double standards. Its challenging sub-title, A Pure Woman, infuriated critics when the book was first published in 1891, and it was condemned as immoral and pessimistic. It tells of Tess Durbeyfield, the daughter of a poor and dissipated villager, who learns that she may be descended from the ancient family of d'Urbeville. In her search for respectability her fortunes fluctuate wildly, and the story assumes the proportions of a Greek tragedy. It explores Tess's relationships with two very different men, her struggle against the social mores of the rural Victorian world which she inhabits and the hypocrisy of the age.

With its wit, its social precision and, above all, its irresistible heroine, Pride and Prejudice has proved one of the most enduringly popular novels in the English language.

Robert Burns (Scotnotes Ser. No. 9)
by Kenneth SimpsonRobert Burns is perhaps Scotland’s foremost cultural icon, and is the world’s most widely celebrated poet. Sometimes his fame – and his face on all those teatowels – stands in the way of an appreciation of the sheer scope of his genius. Although occasionally derided by ignorant and unthinking persons as “doggerel”, Burns’s poetry contains great depths of humanity, philosophy, humour and rare beauty. Kenneth Simpson’s Scotnote provides students with a brief and authoritative introduction to Burns, his life and his work.
The Twelfth Night
by John Seely William ShakespeareThe gentle melancholy and lyrical atmosphere of Twelfth Night have long made the play a favourite with Shakespearian audiences. The plot revolves around mistaken identities and unrequited love, but is further enlivened by a comic sub-plot of considerable accomplishment. In it, Sir Toby Belch and his companion outwit the pretentious Malvolio, who despite suffering their most outrageous and insulting practical jokes, emerges as an almost noble figure. This edition of Twelfth Night opens up Shakespeare to all students and offers a complete guide to studying the play. It is ideal preparation for KS3 as well as GCSE English and English Literature. This Heinemann Shakespeare edition of Twelfth Night includes: activities after all main scenes to help understanding of the play; introductions to Shakespeare's theatre and language to aid contextual understanding; accessible explanations and summaries to help ensure student understanding.

Frankenstein: the 1818 text
by Mary ShelleyThe epic battle between man and monster reaches its greatest pitch in the famous story of Frankenstein. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor himself to the very brink. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship ...and horror. This Norton Critical Edition of Frankenstein contains the 1818 first edition text. Only the obvious typographical errors have been corrected. The book also includes writings by Mary Shelley, Percy Bysshe Shelley, Lord Byron and John William Polidori, enabling the reader to place the novel in its historical context. Six 19th-century responses to the novel illustrate contemporary reactions, whilst 12 modern critical essays cover the different aspects (psychoanalytic, mythic, feminist) of the work.
