The Ignatius Critical Editions are a welcome addition to wasteland of modern higher education. Colleges today are propaganda mills. The profs have an axe to grind and so they PERVERT the classics. Calling it Literary Theory... they push Communism, feminism, homosexuality, etc instead of teaching the freakin' book. (Let us examine these topics in say Moby Dick or Great Expectations or Shakespeare. It is insane. These radical ideas are not there. )

The Ignatius Critical Editions are solidly based on values and tradition. That says it all. Good books presented in a moral way. Steer clear of the OVERPRICED Norton texts and any others not grounded in tradition, values and common sense. Stay away from books pushed by the Liberalcrats.

And please recognize the Ignatius Critical Editions stress critical thinking. Critical thinking is not welcome at the university today. Be a real rebel and think critically. You don't have to regurgitate Prof. I. M. de Best's tripe. Get a real education and debate him.

God bless all of you.

In the most simple terms, this is a biased, moralizing and often misinformed so called critical edition. This is not a critical edition, it is an edition to be critical of and to avoid.

The slant, simply put, is conservative, condescending and condemning. It is not for use by a beginning reader as it will ruin the notion of critical edition for them permanently.

The Norton Critical Edition is the best critical edition for use with all courses regardless of the level of study.

Avoid this series. It has an agenda not a purpose.
