Description: I’m retiring from a 30-year career as an English professor, and I know that I can’t take my professional library with me into retirement. If you don’t know anything about the Norton Critical Edition series, let me explain that you get in one volume the definitive text of the novel as well as a series of critical essays that span from contemporary reviews to modern interpretations. Since I’m old, my Nortons are old, and here’s what’s great about that: these Nortons contain sensible, helpful criticism of the kind that is no longer published or created by the nose-ring-wearing, blue-haired, radical, race-class-gender-obsessed critics who make up the chattering class of the professoriate today. In short, most of the members of the (in)humanities departments in most of the universities today: the know-nothings (and I mean NOTHING: they know no other languages and have almost zero appreciation for the critical tradition that came before them). If you’re still reading, thanks for letting me get this off my chest.
