Benjamin Franklin’s Autobiography is very well edited by @joycechaplin.bsky.social for @nortoncriticals.bsky.social. Made good use of my book darts on this one.

Booksky worthy!

Oh, how I love a dog-eared Norton Critical edition. #books #writers

Hi @juliennegre.bsky.social! Thanks for spotting this! I'll pass it along to our team to file for a reprint correction. Some typos are so sneaky that they slip past all of us that review each NCE round after round!

It arrived!

Sudden, powerful rush of nostalgia for Norton Critical Editions.

Think I might have discovered the best cover for a Norton Critical Edition of all time? Truly outstanding.

“You have multiple copies of Wuthering Heights” okay, yes, fair, I do collect those, but also the Norton Critical Edition is a distinct book!!

The Waste Land and Other Poems: A Norton Critical Edition held against greenery and flowers. The cover is a portrait of T. S. Eliot sitting in a chair.

April is the cruellest month, breeding
Lilacs out of the dead land, mixing
Memory and desire, stirring
Dull roots with spring rain.
—T. S. Eliot’s “The Waste Land”

Denzel Washington as Macbeth on the cover of the Norton Critical Edition of Macbeth. The book is on a white table with red backlighting.

Is this a brand-new #nortoncriticaledition which I see before me, the cover toward my hand?

The cover of "Beowulf - A Verse Translation", by Seamus Heaney, Norton Critical Edition.

I just finished this, and it was a thought-provoking and informative read in several different ways. I'll pass over most of that here, and look at Tolkien's relationship with the poem, which I think is deeper than is commonly realized. 🧵

Dante's Inferno. I'm collecting these Norton Critical Editions like Beanie Babies. #booksky

Woman in a purple sweater holding a copy of Orlando by Virginia Woolf. The book cover is a costume sketch from a stage adaptation of this work of queer LGBTQ fiction.

To put it in a nutshell, we are afflicted with a love of our brand-new #NortonCriticalEdition of Virginia Woolf’s Orlando!

Carefully edited by Madelyn Detloff (Miami University), this volume has everything you need to study Orlando between its covers: wwnorton.com/books/978132...

#LiteraryValentine fans, we love you against reason, against promise, against peace, against hope, against happiness, against all discouragement that could be!

Nothing says #HappyValentinesDay like Ernest Hemingway!

Send this #ncevalentine to your #literaryvalentine down in the trenches of life with you who loves non-fiction books about WWI, who makes parodies of Baby Shoes, and not-so-secretly wants a six-toed cat!

Pink oval Valentine says says: They Say If I loved you less. I might be able to talk about it more. I Say Happy Valentine’s Day.

If our #nortoncriticaledition team loved composition less, we might be able to talk about it more beyond our #ncevalentines.

I declare after all there is no enjoyment like a Jane Austen Valentine 💕

Black and white portrait of Edgar Allan Poe against a pink background saying Don’t go breakin my tell tale heart

Our love of #ncevalentines was stronger by far than the love of those #valentines who are less literary than we!

This Scottish valentine can’t be said in a theater, so you could say it’s a forbidden love…
