The text of Stevenson’s novella is that of the 1886 First British Edition, the only edition which was set directly from the author’s manuscript and for which he read proofs. It has been rigorously annotated for undergraduate readers and is accompanied by a textual appendix. "Backgrounds and Contexts" includes a wealth of materials on the story and its relevance to Victorian culture. "Performance Adaptations" shows the versatility with which the plot of Jekyll and Hyde has been reworked over more than a century as an outlet for modern psychological and social concerns. "Criticism" c

A volume in the series: Studies in the History of Education. Series Editor(s): Karen Riley, Auburn University at Montgomery The idea for this volume arose out of a need for a treatment of the interplay between language and ethnonationalism within both formal and nonformal educational settings. In no way intended to be exhaustive in scope, the contents give the reader a critical overview of issues related to language, cultural identity formation, and ethnonationalism. The chapters within this work deal with the effects of different language groups with differing amounts of power within socie

Conrad’s fiction is characterized by an enduring recourse to the performing arts for metaphor, allegory, symbol, and subject matter; however, this aspect of Conrad’s non-dramatic works has only recently begun to come into its own among literary critics. In response to this seminal moment, "Joseph Conrad and the Performing Arts" offers an exciting, interdisciplinary forum for one of the most interesting and nascent areas of Conrad studies.Adopting a variety of theoretical approaches, the contributors examine major and neglected works within the context of the performing arts: cultur

Museums face the task of representing the similarities and differences that exist between groups, such as national identities and indigenous and minority voices, material and intangible heritage, and current status and past history. In order to achieve this aim, a complex and not always easily compatible set of interests have to be taken into account, from those of the museum itself, to those of its main audiences, sources of support, and the groups that are, or wish to be, represented. The approach taken by Scandinavian museums in response to this challenge highlights a very active concern fo
