Routledge Major Works 2011

Welcome to the Routledge Major Works 2011 Catalogue. Designed to meet research, reference and teaching needs across the humanities and social sciences, Routledge Major Works are sets of books focusing on a particular concept or theme.

The collections are edited by a leading scholar in the field who carefully selects the articles from a wide variety of sources, including previously published journals, excerpts or book chapters.

These articles are reset in modern type for ease of reading, are comprehensively indexed, and include a chronological table of contents.

2011 is an exciting year for Routledge Major Works, with an abundance of sets being released on a variety of subjects.

Rarely has a set been more relevant than Banking, a six volume collection from our Critical Concepts in Finance series, which is released in November. Bringing together the crucial texts reflecting the history and future of the global financial system, this will be an essential reference source for academics within the field.

Literary enthusiasts and academics alike are sure to welcome sets on two of the most highly influential twentieth-century writers; Ernest Hemingway and James Joyce both feature in our Critical Assessments of Major Writers series, and will be available in the coming months.

Balancing lesser-known texts along with more familiar scholarship, the editors have endeavored to filter through the explosion of literature on these important figures, creating a one-stop resource.

Cognitive Linguistics supplements our ever popular Critical Concepts in Linguistics series, featuring articles covering both experimental and theoretical work, while Everyday Life will aid the studies of academics from a range of discipline across humanities and social sciences, including philosophers, cultural geographers, historians, and sociologists.

Later this year we will be releasing the 300-volume RLE: Education set. Gathered together from facsimile reprints of classic titles from our backlist, this collection from the ‘Routledge Library Editions’ programme will be available individually both in print and e-book formats.

Covering all aspects of the educational landscape, this collection allows the opportunity to purchase books by some of the greatest educationists, teaching professionals and policy makers of the twentieth century.

This catalogue represents a small selection of our list. To see the full range, just log on to www.routledge.com/majorworks/
