Bold Ideas for a Changing World: The Universitas Press Social Sciences Collection
In an era defined by rapid social transformation, understanding the forces shaping our lives has never been more urgent. The Universitas Press Social Sciences Collection rises to this challenge with books that bridge theory and lived experience, offering fresh perspectives on issues that matter most.
This collection is timely and engaging, designed for both undergraduate and graduate courses, and perfect for classrooms exploring:

Gender equality
Precarity and the workplace
Consumer behavior
Academic life and identity

Each title dives deep into critical questions about power, identity, and resilience in contemporary society. From The Female Precariat, which examines gendered vulnerability in labor markets, to The Canadian Precariat, a groundbreaking look at economic insecurity in Canada, these works illuminate the realities behind the headlines. Like a Child Would Do offers an interdisciplinary approach to childlikeness across cultures, while Passions & Careers explores the delicate balance between vocation and personal fulfillment.
Affordable and student-priced, these books are classroom-ready, with instructor copies available for seamless integration into curricula. Universitas Press stands as an independent, Canadian, and bold voice committed to publishing works that challenge assumptions and inspire critical thinking.
For educators, students, and lifelong learners, this collection is more than academic—it’s a toolkit for navigating the complexities of modern life.

A Landmark Moment in Literary History
For over a century, the haunting verses of Eu by Augusto dos Anjos remained locked in the cadence of Portuguese, echoing through Brazil’s literary corridors but never crossing the linguistic threshold into English. Scholars revered it, poets whispered its name, and readers marveled at its raw existential depth—a work that defied easy categorization, oscillating between Symbolism, Parnassian rigor, and a proto-modernist sensibility.
Now, for the first time in English translation, this monumental work steps onto the global stage. I—Eu and Other Poems, presented in a critical edition, does more than translate words; it transposes an entire intellectual and emotional universe. Every line, every metaphor, every philosophical tremor has been meticulously rendered by translator Maurício Burigo, ensuring that the essence of Augusto dos Anjos’s voice resonates with the same intensity that shook early 20th-century Brazil.
This edition is not merely a translation—it is a scholarly bridge. With annotations, contextual essays, and a faithful reproduction of the original structure, readers are invited to explore the interplay of science, decay, and metaphysics that defines dos Anjos’s poetry. It is a dialogue across time and language, a resurrection of a poet whose work feels startlingly contemporary in its confrontation with mortality and meaning.
Available now at Barnes & Noble, Indigo, Amazon, and everywhere books are sold, this release marks a turning point for world literature enthusiasts. For those who seek poetry that challenges, provokes, and lingers long after the page is turned, I—Eu and Other Poems is not just a book—it is an event.

What makes Victorian literature feel so alive today?
It’s the boldness. The questions that still matter. The voices that refuse to fade.
George Eliot’s Impressions of Theophrastus Such—now in its most modern, annotated edition—offers sharp reflections on identity and society that feel startlingly current. My Own Land’s Sins gathers more poets and more women than any other Victorian anthology, giving space to voices history tried to silence.
Then there’s The Trail of the Serpent, the first English detective novel, and Dickens’s American Notes, a fearless critique of 19th-century America. And for those who dare to look deeper, Dracula: The Postcolonial Edition—the only one of its kind—reveals the hidden politics behind the world’s most famous vampire.
These aren’t just books. They’re conversations across centuries—about justice, identity, and power.
📚 Student-priced. Classroom-ready. Instructor copies available.

She looked out at the world—and wrote what she saw.
Lilian Sauter was more than a writer. She was a suffragist, a cultural critic, and a poet whose words captured the spirit of an era when women were fighting for their voices to be heard.
Through High Windows brings her legacy back into focus. This unique volume combines her only collection of poetry with a rich biographical narrative, offering readers a glimpse into the life of a woman who stood at the crossroads of art and activism.
Her poems speak of beauty and resilience; her life speaks of courage and conviction. For students, scholars, and anyone who loves literature with history woven into its lines, this book is a window into a world of change.

What happens when a classroom becomes a space for bold conversations?
Picture this: a student raises a hand during your Gothic literature class and asks, “Why do monsters always look like outsiders?” Suddenly, the discussion shifts—from vampires and castles to race, identity, and power.
That’s the magic of the Universitas Press Cultural Studies Collection. These books don’t just teach—they challenge. They open doors to conversations about racism in literature and film, Gothic as both exclusion and resistance, and even the cultural weight of the Second Amendment.
📚 Titles like Gothic and Racism, The Tale of the Living Vampire, and Monsters & Monstrosity give students the tools to question, analyze, and think critically about ideology, culture, and representation.
Because education isn’t about memorizing—it’s about understanding the world and daring to ask why.

Every classroom is a doorway to another time.
When you teach literature, you’re not just assigning pages—you’re guiding students through centuries of ideas, voices, and struggles. Imagine showing them how Canadian short stories evolved from Victorian intrigue to modern realism, or introducing them to women and working-class authors who challenged norms and shaped culture.
That’s why Universitas Press creates scholarly editions designed for educators:
✨ Chronological anthologies that make literary history come alive
✨ Classic and lesser-known works that spark curiosity
✨ Inclusive voices that broaden perspectives
✨ Affordable for students, with volume discounts for schools
Because teaching literature isn’t about memorizing—it’s about connecting. Give your students the chance to see the world through the eyes of those who lived it.

🌿📖 The Victorians may feel like a world apart from us—an era of carriages, corsets, candlelight, and empire. To modern readers, their voices are exotic, distant, and yet strikingly familiar.

When we open a Victorian poem or novel, we step into a journey across time:
✨ exploring questions of love, morality, and ambition
✨ witnessing the upheavals of industry and empire
✨ hearing echoes of our own struggles in their words

At Universitas Press, our carefully curated Victorian editions invite readers to travel back in time, discovering the richness of this period while reflecting on its ongoing relevance today.

Because to read the Victorians is to embark on a journey—across history, across cultures, and into the heart of what it means to be human.
