Round Up: New William Hodgson Editions
The British Library's Tales of the Weird series has
arguably been leading the charge in the mainstream
reissuing of classic and obscure weird works, issuing
thoughtfully curated collections on a near-monthly basis
since July 2018. At time of writing, there have been over
60 volumes released under this imprint, with many more
lined up.
Not only was a collection of William Hope Hodgson's
short stories an early inclusion (The Weird Tales of William
Hope Hodgson, April 2019), but Hodgson is unique in
having had two of his novels issued in the same line The
House on the Border/and (October 2023) and The Níght
Land (May 2024), both with an introduction by Ann
VanderMeer. Only a handful of novels have been
published in the Tales of the Weird series (the vast majority
oÍ volumes are short story collections), so it is remarkable
that two of WHH's novels have been chosen for inclusion.
Penguin books have recently gotten in on the action,
launching their own Penguin Weird Fiction range in
October last year. Five books were published simultaneously - Hodgson's The House on the Borderland
again being included - all with cover art "inspired by 1970s
Penguin genre paperbacks". This isn't the first time
Borderland has been published by Penguin: it was
included as part of their (seemingly inconsistently labelled)
Red Classics / Gothic Classics series back in 2008. At any
rate, it's great to see Hodgson back in print with such a
high profile publishing house.

In writing, passive voice is a strategic tool used to control focus. Based on the text, analyze the statements below:
I. The phrase "being included" (third paragraph) uses a passive structure to emphasize The House on the Borderland as the recipient of the action, while the agent (the publisher) remains implied.
II. "Were published simultaneously" (third paragraph) employs the passive voice to shift the focus to the books themselves, rather than the act of the publisher.
III. "Many more lined up" (first paragraph) functions as a reduced passive structure, highlighting the status of future volumes without naming the specific arranger.
IV.The phrase "launched their own Penguin Weird Fiction range" (third paragraph) is an example of the active voice, where the subject (Penguin Books) clearly performs the action.
The CORRECT statements are:
I. The phrase "being included" (third paragraph) uses a passive structure to emphasize The House on the Borderland as the recipient of the action, while the agent (the publisher) remains implied.
II. "Were published simultaneously" (third paragraph) employs the passive voice to shift the focus to the books themselves, rather than the act of the publisher.
