The Vicar of Wakefield
Edited with an Introduction and Notes by
Stephen Coote
This charming comedy is an artful
send-up of the literary conventions of
Goldsmith’s time—the pastoral scene, the
artificial romance, the stoic bravery of the
hero—culminating in a highly improbable
denouement.

Oblomov
Translated by David Magarshack with an
Introduction and Notes by Milton Ehre
Goncharov’s portrait of the humdrum
life of his ineffectual and slothful hero is a
tragicomedy created through painstaking
accumulation of seemingly insignificant
details alongside a sympathetic analysis of
his character.
