 Authoritative undergraduate anthology. January 15, 2010
D. Waterfield (Peterborough.)
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
If you're looking at this page, then chances are you are, like I have, going to be purchasing this anthology as part of your undergraduate degree course. Any review of this is therefore superfluous as it is a required tome on many if not all of English degrees courses. Nevertheless, this is in its own right a brilliant collection of romantic to twentieth century literature, with the inclusion of many texts one would expect to be included and informative opening essays to many topics and eras that will aid the reader's understanding of what they are about to delve into.
Whether or not you are required to purchase this, this makes a perfect companion to the first norton anthology in giving one a broad introduction to the canonical texts of English Literature.

Get it cheaper 2nd hand if you can. Great selections but remember you may need to purchase full, annotated versions of selected pieces for Uni anyway. Provides very useful cross-reference sources for essays.
Literature Overload May 12, 2009
James Andrews (Covent Garden, London.)
3 out of 4 found this review helpful
Don't be fooled, this book is big, and heavy too but it's definitely a worthwhile purchase.
I brought it as it is a mandatory book for my degree course at University, and I imagine that's what you're buying too, but if not, and you just really like literature, then it's definitely worth considering.
The pages are very thin and can be torn out easily, which is no bad thing, especially if you don't want to lug the whole book around campus with you all day.
The text is very readable, set in about 7/8pt type, so not too small, although due to the amount of literature crammed into the book, it can be difficult finding the novel/play/poem you're looking for.
Overall, worth a look at, expensive but this is the cheapest place I've found it on.
16/20
