Editorial Reviews for The Norton Anthology of English Literature, Volume 1: The Middle Ages through the Restoration and the Eighteenth Century (Norton Anthology of English Literature) A legendary bestseller for more than forty years, this is the classic survey to the field 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 Seamas Heaney's award-winning translation of Beowulf, Milton's Paradise Lost, and More's Utopia to the great poets and prose writers of the nineteenth century—Blake and Austen, Wordsworth and Byron, 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, Achebe's Things Fall Apart, and Friel's Translations, to name but a few. Color plates—over 75 in all—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.
Consumer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Norton Antholgy of English Literature vl 1 Comment: Got here on time. It was what I wanted and ordered. Book was in excellent shape. No hidden charges. Customer Rating: Summary: Very happy customer Comment: I purchased this item and needed it right away so I paid for the additional expediated shipping and received this item within 3 days. The book was in perfect condition, brand new. I was very please with my order and would definately order from the seller again. Thanks Customer Rating: Summary: Heavy Comment: I really like the material within the book. I did not realize that it was one huge book instead of 2-3 smaller books. It is awkward to carry to class so if you need a book to handle with comfort get the separate volumes. As for content it is very good! Customer Rating: Summary: 4 Stars Comment: I would have given this anthology 5 stars were it not for one small problem. It is paperback and it is extremely large. This is quite literally enough material to have split up into two separate volumes. It is available hardbound and, had I been offered that option at checkout, I would have preferred it. Customer Rating: Summary: Thanks! Comment: Purchased as a set with Volume 2 (great idea by the way to package them for one low price). Came just in time, great study tool for class, as I'm an English major.
