Printing on Green Paper
On the last page of the 2010 Broadview edition of Cranford appears an “FSC” logo and a little notice informing the reader that using 941 pounds of recycled paper to print the book—rather than 941 pounds of paper from pulp taken from newly felled timber—saved 8 trees. We are told as well that it had…
Package Pricing at Broadview
Hello everyone, At the wonderful recent NAVSA conference in Phoenix, I was very pleased to hear a great many people commenting positively on Broadview editions (and on Broadview books in general). But I was also surprised to discover how many people who know and like what we at Broadview are doing were not aware of…
Universities and Virtual Bookstores
Early last year I met with quite a surprise when I visited the bookstore at Queens College in New York. That’s one of a dozen or so North American universities that I call on fairly regularly, and I’d always been impressed by their bookstore operation—both by how well the little store was organized and by…

Information on the availability of books
Hello everyone I’m writing to warn you of a possible source of confusion that has recently arisen. At the moment many Broadview titles are listed on the amazon.com and amazon.ca sites only as “available from these sellers,” or “temporarily out of stock,” often with only used copies listed as being available. I should emphasize that…

The Siege of Jerusalem
The Siege of Jerusalem (c. 1370-90 CE) is a difficult text. By twenty-first-century standards, it is gruesomely violent and offensive. It tells the story of the Roman destruction of the Second Temple in Jerusalem in 70 CE, an event viewed by its author (as by many in the Middle Ages) as divine retribution against Jews…
Manfred
The quintessential depiction of the Byronic hero is accompanied in this edition by a substantial selection of contextual materials, including Byron’s original draft of the play’s conclusion; influences on the poem, such as Paradise Lost, Goethe’s Faust, and Vathek; further examples of the Byronic hero from the poet’s other writings; a selection of contemporary reviews;…
Le Morte Darthur: Selections
Arguably no medieval English literary work has had as far and wide a reach as Sir Thomas Malory’s Le Morte Darthur; among the many adaptations are Tennyson’s Idylls of the King, T.H. White’s The Once and Future King, and the Lerner and Loewe musical Camelot. It might also be argued that the late twentieth- and…

Copyright in Canada: The Damage Caused by Unfair Interpretations of “Fair Use”
Originally published in The Hill Times on Wednesday, April 6, 2016 http://www.hilltimes.com/2016/04/06/unfair-interpretation-of-fair-use-damaging-publishing-industry/57277 A significant part of the debate about copyright in Canada is over the question of whether authors and publishers are in fact being hurt by educational institutions refusing to compensate them for the use of copyrighted material. The background here needs to be…
Alfred, Lord Tennyson: Selected Poetry
A century ago Tennyson had begun to be dismissed as a poet whose work embodied everything the modern world was looking to leave behind. He still seems to readers to embody the substance of the Victorian era more fully than any other poet—but nowadays that is counted in his favor. Critics continue to find layers…

The Ethics of Consuming Animals and Animals Products
