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.

Identify the two correct and two wrong interpretations of the phrasal verbs used in the text and mark T (true) and F (false).

( ) The expression 'lined up' is used idiomatically to indicate that more volumes are scheduled or prepared for future release.

Regarding the collocation "back in print,, in the final paragraph, analyze the statements below:

I. It functions as a technical shorthand in the literary world; it specifically emphasizes the availability of the content to the general public rather than the physical act of pressing ink onto paper.

III. The author uses "back in print" as a prepositional collocation to indicate the specific medium of the reissue.
