Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (Second International Student Edition) (Norton Critical Editions)Edition 2

“The annotations are useful, particularly for references to biblical and other literary allusions. [The contexts] section is essential to alerting students to the many subtexts/contexts of the story.”
—MARIA CARRIG, Carthage College
