Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

With a wide variety of genres, authors, subjects, and styles, The Norton Reader offers the largest and most thoughtfully chosen collection of essays available in one volume. New essays maintain the Reader's long-standing balance of classic and contemporary, canonical and lesser-known selections. The Twelfth Edition also includes important new coverage of visual and spoken texts—photographs, paintings, drawings, and other images that were originally published with the essays.

Synopsis:

Read by millions of students since it was first published in 1965, The Norton Reader is the bestselling collection of its kind.

Available in two editions: a full edition, with 206 readings; and a shorter edition, with 123.
