Broadview Anthology Of British Literature Concise Volume B Second Edition

The two-volume Broadview Anthology of British Literature: Concise Edition provides an attractive alternative to the full six-volume anthology. Though much more compact, the Concise Edition nevertheless provides instructors with substantial choice, offering both a strong selection of canonical authors and a sampling of lesser-known works. With an unparalleled number of illustrations and contextual materials, accessible and engaging introductions, and full explanatory annotations, this edition of the acclaimed Broadview Anthology provides concise yet wide-ranging coverage for British literature survey courses. The second edition of this popular volume will include several new "Contexts" sections on subjects ranging from "The Natural, the Human, the Supernatural, and the Sublime" to "The New Art of Photography"; work by Charles Darwin and Sir Arthur Conan Doyle; and updated selections from contemporary writers such as Seamus Heaney, Carol Ann Duffy, and Zadie Smith. Authors who will appear in the anthology for the first time include Sylvia Townsend Warner and J.M. Coetzee.
