Drama Oxford English Drama editions offer a selection of plays, selected from an author's œuvre or as an anthology of plays linked by topic or theme (e. g. Four Revenge Tragedies). Renaissance, Restoration and eighteenth-century plays have glossaries of archaic words appended, in addition to the usual array of critical material. The series' general editor is Michael Cordner of the University of York. Scholar Anne Barton praised the series as a 'splendid and imaginative project', adding that it 'should reshape the canon in a number of significant areas'. Major works Major Works are mini-anthologies of an author's most significant works and selected correspondence. For example, the Major Works edition of Alexander Pope includes the major poems like The Rape of the Lock and The Dunciad, alongside prose essays like Peri Bathous, and an excerpt of his translation of Homer. Some editions include whole novels as well; the Major Works edition of Oscar Wilde anthologises many of his plays and prose alongside the whole of The Picture of Dorian Gray. Most titles are often reprints (with revisions) of volumes from an earlier Oxford series, Oxford Authors, under the general editorship of Frank Kermode. Classical texts Oxford World's Classics feature multiple works from antiquity in new translations. One notable series consists of Latin standards including The Golden Ass by Apuleius, and The Satyricon by Petronius translated and with introductions by P.G.Walsh. Another is the Euripides series translated from the Greek by James Morwood and Robin Waterfield, including Medea, The Bacchae and 17 other plays by Euripides. The series comprises five volumes, each with an introduction by the classicist Edith Hall.
