BRITISH WRITERS, Supplement XIVFor the most part, Supplement XIV centers on contemporary writers from various genres and traditions, most of whom have had little sustained attention from critics, although they are well known.

Scribner launches a new literature reference source with this volume, accompaniment to its well-established British Writers series. While that series focus on writers, the new one concentrates on works. The first volume contains extensive essays on 20 literary classics in various genres, selected after researching the curriculum and consulting with professors. Although many of the choices are unsurprising, others are not typically given to beginning students of literature, reflecting the fact that the new series is intended for a somewhat advanced audience.
This anthology covers writers and works of English literature. Among the major works included are the complete texts of Milton's "Paradise Lost" and Mary Shelley's "Frankenstein"; Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night"; Beckett's tragicomic "Endgame"; and Achebe's "Things Fall Apart".
