Der Tod in Venedig: die Studienausgabe
Minuten vergingen, bis man dem seitlich im Stuhle Hinabgesunkenen zur Hilfe eilte. Man brachte ihn auf sein Zimmer. Und noch desselben Tages empfing eine respektvoll erschütterte Welt die Nachricht von seinem Tode. Mann selbst hat den Tod in Venedig die „Tragödie einer Entwürdigung“ genannt und dabei den Begriff Tragödie durchaus wörtlich gemeint, Mann described Death in Venice as “the tragedy of degradation”, and in so doing he meant this quite literally; his work is full of classical allusions and dark motifs, enriching the compelling narrative of the faltering writer von Aschenbach and his quiet love for Tadzio. The book is short but immensely powerful, and Venice especially is depicted as nowhere else in German literature, as a city of passion and intrigue, but also of sickness and decay. This student’s edition of Death in Venice contains the full 1912 text, complete with background notes and a biography of the author, as well as spacious margins for annotation.

Great Expectations: GCSE English Illustrated Student Edition with wide annotation friendly margins
Ask no questions, and you'll be told no lies. Dickens wrote fourteen complete books, but few have featured more extreme evocations of the ills of man, of the pent-up fury of true passion; nor have they starred more memorable characters. Pip, Havisham, Estella, Magwitch; these names transport the reader to a world now long past; one of prison ships, chains, fights to the death, expectations. There is no happy ending, none of these memorable characters escapes the ravages of bleak and sorry conclusion, and love is a long time in coming. The brush is broad with which these epic themes are played out, but it is Dickens’ attention to detail, his close study of the minutiae, that elevates Great Expectations from classic novel to art. Following Great Expectations’ inclusion upon the new specification for GCSE English Literature (first examinations 2017), CBy Publishing hereby publishes the full, unabridged 1861 text, complete with F. A. Fraser’s illustrations to the 1867 edition, large, annotation friendly margins and a plethora of background material to aid student analysis. What has this student edition got over other editions? Wide margins that you can annotate in Illustrated Original text, word for word. Background information Designed for the new English GCSE Approved and tested on students!

Maud: A-Level English Student Edition with wide annotation friendly margins
Dead, long dead,Long dead!And my heart is a handful of dust,And the wheels go over my head,[...] For I thought the dead had peace, but it is not so;To have no peace in the grave, is that not sad?But up and down and to and fro,Ever about me the dead men go;And then to hear a dead man chatterIs enough to drive one mad. Maud, Tennyson’s epic monodrama of love, loss and madness deftly explores weighty themes such as gender, morality, identity and sanity. The poem follows the exploits of an emotionally unstable narrator as he pursues Maud, his love; the lengths to which he will go for this are ultimately his doom. Following the inclusion of Maud on the new English A-level specification, this new CBy edition contains Tennyson’s full 1855 text, complete with large, annotation-friendly margins, as well as a set of contextual notes to aid students’ analysis.
Pride and Prejudice: GCSE English Illustrated Study Edition
"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife" So begins Pride and Prejudice, Austen’s masterwork of a novel, in equal parts love story, social commentary and comedy of manners. There have been few books in the history of literature that have been taken more to heart by the British people, enchanted as they are by the twists and turns of Regency England. The story of Elizabeth Bennet and her slow discovery of love cannot fail to win over audiences, as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry at the dawn of the nineteenth century. With a cast of now iconic characters, such as Darcy, Bingley and Wickham, allow yourself to be transported into the world of Longbourn. Does love really conquer all? Following Pride and Prejudice’s inclusion upon the new GCSE specification for English Literature (first assessments in 2017), CBy Publishing hereby publishes the full, unabridged 1813 text, complete with C.E. Brock’s illustrations, annotation-friendly margins and a plethora of background material to aid student analysis. What has this student edition got over other editions?

Tess of the d’Urbervilles: A Pure Woman Faithfully Presented: The Student Edition with wide annotation friendly margins
“The season developed and matured. Another year’s instalment of flowers, leaves, nightingales, thrushes, finches, and such ephemeral creatures, took up their positions where only a year ago others had stood in their place when these were nothing more than germs and inorganic particles. Rays from the sunrise drew forth the buds and stretched them into long stalks, lifted up sap in noiseless streams, opened petals, and sucked out scents in invisible jets and breathings.” Hardy’s classic saga of Tess Durbeyfield, a tragic woman whose impoverished father has delusions of noble descent from the d’Urberville family, sympathetically tracks the various wrongs done to her by her lovers Angel Clare and Alec d’Urberville. The book incorporates stringing social commentary, as Tess’s trials and eventual fall are seen to be the product of a restrictive Victorian moral code, against which Hardy rails. Following the inclusion of Tess of the d’Urbervilles on the new English A-level specification, this new CBy edition contains Hardy’s full text, complete with large, annotation-friendly margins, as well as a set of contextual and biographical notes to aid students’ analysis.
The Pilgrim’s Progress: From This World to That Which Is to Come; Delivered under the Similitude of a Dream; reproduction of 1898 Houghton, Mifflin and Co. edition with notes by William Vaughn Moody
“I seek a place that can never be destroyed, one that is pure, and that fadeth not away, and it is laid up in heaven, and safe there, to be given, at the time appointed, to them that seek it with all their heart. Read it so, if you will, in my book.” John Bunyan’s classic allegory presents the life of a Christian as a physical pilgrimage to Heaven, the Celestial City, along a path strewn with peril and temptation. A text awash with virtue, vice, sacrilege and martyrdom, The Pilgrim’s Progress is a tale that has enchanted readers for more than three hundred years, but, as Vaughan William’s morality proved, the lessons imparted are not confined to any one faith or worldview; they are in fact truly universal. The seductive Vanity Fair, the valiant crossing of the River of Death, the defeat of the Giant Despair, these are tropes in which we can all share. “The Pilgrim’s Progress” is here presented in a reproduction of the 1898 Houghton, Mifflin and Co. edition, comprising the first part of the narrative and extensive notes by William Vaughn Moody, not to mention a superlative introduction. Further volumes containing the second part, William Blake’s illustrations and a complete scholarly analysis suitable for students at degree level are in preparation.
