In a passionate and tender book Jones discusses the narrative techniques and linguistic subtleties of Dostoevsky's novels, what he calls "conspiracies between novelist and reader behind the back of the narrator and his narrative". His object is always to question orthodox readings in particular those of the editors of the current Soviet edition, and to lay bare "Dostoevsky's power to generate seemingly inexhaustable psychic energy in the form of his readers' diverse intellectual passions". This is a suggestive, unconventional, brilliantly "seen" yet rigorous exposition of one of the greatest and most "modern" of 19th-century novelists.

Why did Shakespeare revise his plays? In a brilliant and pioneering analysis, the distinguished critic John Jones explores the critical and dramatic significance of Shakespeare's revisions. Analyzing such plays as Hamlet, Othello, King Lear, and Troilus and Cressida, he reveals the artistic impact of the revisions and their importance for our understanding of each play's moral and metaphysical foundations.

Peptides have many roles in medicine, and their potential for future application is even greater. They are involved in the regulation of fertility, the control of pain, the stimulation of growth, cancer therapy, cardiovascular problems, connective tissue diseases, digestive disorders, mental illness, and infections by microbial or viral agents. The preparation of such compounds by manipulating biological systems (genetic engineering) is an increasingly sophisticated art, but each case requires developmental work, and the approach is at present almost powerless with structural types that don't occur naturally. Chemical synthesis, on the other hand, is in principle applicable to any target, and is likely to remain very important in the peptide area for the foreseeable future. The emphasis throughout this book is on the chemical principles behind the more important methods of peptide synthesis. It provides a critical, concise, and up-to-date survey of the field. The term peptide is interpreted liberally, as embracing not only conventional sequences of up to a few dozen natural amino acids, but also protein-scale molecules and structures comprising other residues or unusual features, for example, cyclopeptides and conjugated peptides. The synthetic methods considered here are treated within a modern mechanistic framework, and illustrated with carefully selected case studies, and this valuable account will be of interest to all those working in the field of peptide synthesis.

Amino Acid and Peptide Synthesis (Oxford Chemistry Primers)

The study of amino acids and peptides is becoming increasingly important to chemists because of the growing overlap of mainstream organic chemistry with bioorganic and biochemistry. This introductory text begins with a brief survey of the role and diversity of amino acids, peptides, and proteins in nature, and goes on to describe and explain the principal methods of chemical synthesis. With its emphasis on chemical principals and strategies rather than detailed technical matters, the book will be essential reading for all students of chemistry with an interest in this field.

This new primer offers a thorough understanding of the carbonyl group, knowledge essential for an understanding of organic chemistry. The Carbonyl group appears in many classes of compounds, Core Carbonyl Chemistry covers the chemistry of these classes in a brisk style, and also embraces the reactivity of this group. Recent developments are dealt with where appropriate. The study of this material is a vital part of all university year and/or second year courses in chemistry or biochemistry, and this Primer will be useful to all students taking such courses.

Without interruption, Balliol has existed as a community of scholars on its present site since about 1263, making it the oldest College in Oxford or Cambridge. This book draws on previously unavailable material to reassess Balliol's history and influence, covering such distinguished alumni and members as Benjamin Jowett; Matthew Arnold; Graham Greene; Anthony Powell; Archbishops Tait, Temple, and Lang; Prime Ministers Asquith, Macmillan and Heath.
