History & Criticism
Review:I purchased this for an online college class, so the material is great. I wanted an e-version for my laptop and the descriptions made it sound like I could access it electronically by using a code inside the text.

Review:My father used to read books by Daphine du Maurier, and I read them too. I happened to remember that, so looked up books by her and found several. "My Cousin Rachel" was an interesting book about those early days when people lived very formally. I was happy to find those books again. Read more
Review:I am reading many books about pioneer life as research for a novel I hope to write. Until I read Willa Cather I never really understood why they left their homes, gave up everything for a dream. O Pioneers is a beautiful reading experience. I look forward to the other two books of Cather's pioneer trilogy. Read more
