Norton Anthology of English Literature: (Norton Anthology of English Literature) Cover

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The classic survey of English literature in a vibrant new edition, with Stephen Greenblatt as general editor. <BR>A legendary bestseller for more than forty years, "The Norton Anthology of English Literature" is the classic survey to the field from the Middle Ages to the twenty-first century. With more than ninety authors, the Major Authors Edition deepens its representation of essential works in all genres, ranging from Seamus Heaney's award-winning translation of "Beowulf" and Shakespeare's "Twelfth Night" to the greats of the nineteenth century--Blake and Wordsworth, Tennyson and Barrett Browning--to twentieth-century classics of a truly global English literature--Conrad's "Heart of Darkness," Woolf's "A Room of One's Own," poetry by Derek Walcott, and prose by Nadine Gordimer and Salman Rushdie, to name but a few. Color plates--over seventy-five in all--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.

Synopsis:

Read by millions of students over seven editions, The Norton Anthology of English Literature remains the most trusted undergraduate survey of English literature available and one of the most successful college texts ever published. Firmly grounded by the hallmark strengths of all Norton Anthologies-thorough and helpful introductory matter, judicious annotation, complete texts wherever possible-The Norton Anthology of English Literature, The Major Authors has been revitalized in this Eighth Edition through the collaboration between six new editors and six seasoned ones. Under the direction of Stephen Greenblatt, General Editor, the editors have reconsidered all aspects of the anthology to make it an even better teaching tool.
