Reviews

Excellent The Norton Anthology of English Literature - Vol. 1 / 0-393-95469-2 If you are looking at purchasing this book, you've either been required to purchase it for a college course, or you are considering investing in an English literature anthology for your own library and you want to know if this anthology is worth your money. If you are required to buy this book for a course, my review won't matter to you much one way or another, so this is slated towards the latter group. This is an excellent resource for English literature selections and excerpts. A good deal of the selections are poetry or lyrical selections; most of the prose selections are small excerpts meant only to give you the "feel" of the author's writing style. Nor does this book waste space duplicating works readily available elsewhere - the Shakespeare section is entirely lyrical, under the assumption that a Shakespeare dilettante can easily find access to the plays elsewhere. The going Amazon.com price at the time of this review is less than a dollar, making this volume an absolute steal. Invest in a copy if you have any interest in early English literature (particularly prose) and you won't be sorry.

Astonishing Service I got the book in less time that was even alotted originally. And it was wrapped like a present and had a card in the top of it with my order information. I just felt like I got the book for Christmas :) It was the best and speediest delivery I have ever had on this site! Keep up the good work!
The Norton Anthology of English Literature Vol 7 Well organized and thorough in all aspects.
It is what it says In perfect condition (new from amazon). The new hardback book that I purchased from amazon was cheaper (after shipping charges) than the used paperback book at a local book store. Can't beat that. Fast shipping as well. Thanks again amazon.com.
The heart of English Literature In graduate school I read and reread this work, studied and re- studied it. As it contains many the major masterpieces ( or excerpts of them) of English Literature it is a work which lends itself to this kind of reading and rereading. The introductions to each individual writer are also informative and in many cases a help in reading the work. It is probably still the best one- volume introduction to English Literature that there is.
