The present English Library no longer seeks to provide critical editions the focus is now 'on the beauty and elegance of the book'. The imprint was resurrected in 2012 for a new series of titles. The English Library was merged into the Classics stable in the mid 1980s, and all titles hitherto published in the Library were reissued as Classics. The series was first created in 1963 as a 'sister series' to the Penguin Classics series, providing critical editions of English classics at that point in time, the Classics label was reserved for works translated into English (for example, Juvenal's Sixteen Satires). ![]() The Penguin English Library is an imprint of Penguin Books. ![]()
