If appreciation of the workmanship of the author is the goal of literature, then using abridged texts, or even reading portions of a complete work in an anthology, makes very little sense. Therefore, students should use unabridged versions of the author's work. Our study guides were developed by using unabridged works, except in very few works. We have tried to make the guides compatible with all editions of the work. However, if a particular text is required, this information is made available on the "Required Book List" with ISBNs when applicable.
