Product Description
Product Description
A best-seller for more than forty years, this is the survey of English literature from the Middle Ages to the twenty-first century. With 274 authors, the Eighth Edition deepens its representation of essential works in all genres, ranging from Seamus Heaney's translation of "Beowulf" to global twentieth-century classics. Over 75 colour plates and thematic clusters of brief and historically significant texts bring to life the cultural concerns of each period. Concise glosses and annotations, period introductions, biographical headnotes, timelines and selected bibliographies help readers understand and enjoy the rich diversity of English literature.

Contains most of the Modernists as well
2 Jun 2011
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I used this textbook for a graduate-level class on British Modernism. It contains all of the major modernists and many of the minor ones. Auden, Pound, Eliot, Lawrence, and Beckett are all here, some with larger anthologized sections than others (obviously). It also contains the entire text of Heart of Darkness and Beckett's "Endgame" as well. Buy it used to save yourself a lot of money, as the Nortons are incredibly expensive when new.

The best anthology money can buy!
30 Nov 2009
Format:Paperback
The Entire Norton collection is a must-own for anyone, especially though interested in reading the classics. It includes every piece of "important" literature ever written, with very detailed, well-written commentaries and footnotes to help you understand the historical setting of the piece. I bought them for class last year and have never regretted it. I am thinking of getting the American set next.

Not as described.

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The description said new book and my book arrived with bent corners and stains. I am very disappointed, from now on I will only order items eligible for Amazon Prime.
