Routledge Major Works

What is a Routledge Major Work?

A major work is a multivolume collection with a focus on a particular concept, theme, or individual.

How big is a Major Works Set?

Normally ranging from 4-6 Volumes, each collection gathers material into one easy-to-use ‘mini library’, prefaced with a substantial editorial introduction.

Which subject areas do Major Works cover?

We commission books across Social Sciences and Humanities subjects. Our series range from the History of Feminism, to Critical Concepts in Philosophy, to Critical Perspectives on Business and Management plus many more.

Key Selling Points of a Major Work

  • Each collection is edited by a leading scholar in the field
  • With each collection users can gain access to pre published material that is inaccessible, not widely available or is scattered throughout a variety of specialist journals and books.


What's the difference between an RLE and a facsimile Major Work?

A Major Work gathers together material from various sources: chapters from books and manuscripts. RLE's are re-issued as complete books.

  3. Gender and Crime

    Edited by Sandra Walklate

    Series: Critical Concepts in Criminology

    In the late 1950s, Barbara Wootton memorably remarked that if men behaved like women the criminal courts would be idle and the prisons empty.
