John Dover Wilson's New Shakespeare, published between 1921 and 1966, became the classic Cambridge edition of Shakespeare's plays and poems until the 1980s. The series, long since out-of-print, is now reissued. Each work is available both individually and as a set, and each contains a lengthy and lively introduction, main text, and substantial notes and glossary printed at the back. The edition, which began with The Tempest and ended with The Sonnets, put into practice the techniques and theories that had evolved under the 'New Bibliography'. Remarkably by today's standards, although it took the best part of half a century to produce, the New Shakespeare involved only a small band of editors besides Dover Wilson himself. As the volumes took shape, many of Dover Wilson's textual methods acquired general acceptance and became an established part of later editorial practice, for example in the Arden and New Cambridge Shakespeares.

 走入孤独，远离书斋，如同远离社会一样重要。纵然无人在我身旁，当我读书或写作时，并非独处一隅。如果一个人渴望独处，就请他注目于星辰吧。那从天界下行的光芒，使人们得以出离可触摸的现世。可以这样说，我们假想，大气之所以透明，就是为了让人们看到天国的灿烂光芒。从普通城市的街道向上看，它们是如此深邃伟岸。假如星辰千年一现，人类关于上帝之城的记忆，必将世代相传，为人们长久地信仰着，珍存着，崇拜着。然而，每一晚，这些美的使者都会降临，以它们无可置疑的微笑，照亮宇宙。

《象人》的主人公约翰·梅力因为脑袋硕大无比，身体畸形酷似大象而被人称为“象人”，不过这个人物并不是剧作家杜撰出来的，而是真实存在于19世纪的伦敦。1923年，以他为研究对象的医生弗瑞迪·崔佛士出版了《象人和他的回忆》的手记。1973年，另一位作家Ashley Montagu又出版了《象人——人的尊严的研究》一书。被这两本书深深打动的剧作家以此为蓝本写成了剧本《象人》。这部作品在1979年伦敦公演时备受好评，之后在百老汇也是长演不衰的剧目。获得1979年托尼奖最佳戏剧奖。

亨利·杰基尔医生喝了一种试验用的药剂，在晚上化身成邪恶的海德先生四处作恶，他终日徘徊在善恶之间，其内心属灵的内疚和犯罪的快感不断冲突，令他饱受折磨。这种貌似荒诞无稽的故事，其实蕴含了最深刻的人性命题：人，到底是黑白分明，一成不变的非善即恶，还是既善亦恶，时善时恶？

Widely known as the creator of Tarzan of the Apes, Edgar Rice Burroughs was also one of America's most imaginative writers of science fiction. This tale of the amazing world of Pellucidar is a fine example of that genre. Discovered by two men who travel to the center of the earth in a bizarre mechanical device, Pellucidar is a land of perpetual noon--where time does not exist. It is also home to gallant heroes, lovely maidens, horrifying villains; and savage, prehistoric beasts. How the inhabitants of this strange land survive in a Stone Age level of development is revealed in a gripping adventure that will thrill countless readers partial to exotic locales and heart-pounding excitement. Unabridged republication of the edition published by Grosset & Dunlap, New York, 1923.
