GCSE English: Pride and Prejudice: The Student Edition with large annotation-friendly margins
The most famous of Jane Austen's novels, Pride and Prejudice has become one of the most popular novels in English literature, and it remains a source of fascination for modern readers; regularly ranking near the top of lists of "most loved books", no surprise for a book tackling issues from manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage. The novel centres on Elizabeth Bennet, the second of the five daughters of a landed country gentleman. Elizabeth's father, Mr. Bennet, is a bookish man and somewhat neglectful of his responsibilities. In contrast Elizabeth's mother, the empty headed Mrs. Bennet, a woman who lacks social graces, is primarily concerned with finding suitable husbands for her five daughters, who will inherit little or nothing from their father. Will our heroine conquer all, to ensure a happy ending for the family? In this CBy Light Classics edition, wide margins allow for annotation friendly pages, perfect for the AQA, Exexcel and OCR exam boards, making this an essential for those reading Pride and Prejudice as a set text.

The Dream of Gerontius: The Annotated Study Edition
“Novissima hora est; and I fain would sleep, The pain has wearied me.... Into Thy hands, O Lord, into Thy hands....” Cardinal Newman’s classic poetical account of the dying man’s struggle, and his soul’s subsequent descent into Purgatory, is here reissued by CBy in a comprehensive students’ edition, featuring full annotations, metrical analysis and an introduction by Maurice Francis Egan, and a biographical note on the life of the author. Gerontius is primarily known today for the musical setting it inspired by Edward Elgar, but in this edition, stripped of the music, the beauty of Newman’s verse is lain bare, with its universal messages of death, loss, and the eventual hope of redemption: “Farewell, but not for ever! brother dear, Be brave and patient on thy bed of sorrow; Swiftly shall pass thy night of trial here, And I will come and wake thee on the morrow.”
