It is so hard loving Mansfield Park because every day i see the worst misinterpretations of it and every day i have to prevent myself from writing impromptu essays telling people why they’re wrong

Jonathan swore when he was escaping the castle that he would rather die a man than become undead.
But when it is Mina's soul on the line, he would rather give up his soul than force her to be alone.
If that isn't romance, I don't know what is.

For the first time ever as Norton Critical Editions we have William Faulkner’s Absalom, Absalom! and Mary Shelley’s The Last Man!
If you’ve been bingeing Succession or The Last of Us and are looking for a novel to fill the time between episodes and seasons, with these titles you can dive completely into a Southern tale about the rise and fall of a cruel patriarch or an extremely prescient dystopian plague story about the collapse of society in the twenty-first century. You can find these (and more!) at wwnorton.com/nortoncriticals!

“Life is given to me only once, and never will be again—I don't want to sit waiting for universal happiness. I want to live myself; otherwise it's better not to live at all.”
— Fyodor Dostoevsky, “Crime and Punishment”, originally published c. 1866.
