Organisation is not what some, be they relatively numerous, organised, structured or coherent, can think of or build to liberate others. It is what each and all create by themselves in their struggle, for their struggle in their own interests.

Counci...

Tom Jones is rightly regarded as Fielding's greatest work, and one of the first and most influential of English novels.

This carefully modernized edition is based on Fielding's emended fourth edition text and offers the most thorough notes, ma...

At the centre of one of the most ingenious plots in English fiction stands a hero whose actions were, in 1749, as shocking as they are funny today. Expelled from Mr Allworthy's c...
