Product Description
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.

Product Reviews:

A Great addition to the home library.
Although, this book is used as a textbook in some colleges, it is a fantastic read on a leisurely basis.

The Norton Anthology of English Literature, Volume 2
This book was a purchase for an English class; however, it contains some awesome poetry.

English Lit.
I think that this product had a little more highlighting and damage done to it than described. But the damage might of been done in shipping and handling. Other than that it was usable.

Wonderful...
Needed item for school. Great idea to be able to purchase both volumes at a discounted price.

Thanks
I received the book before the time stated, which is always appreciated, and it was delivered in perfect condition. Thanks.
