Product Description
Read by millions of students over seven editions, The Norton Anthology of English Literature remains the most trusted undergraduate survey of English literature available and one of the most successful college texts ever published. Firmly grounded by the hallmark strengths of all Norton Anthologies—thorough and helpful introductory matter, judicious annotation, complete texts wherever possible—The Norton Anthology of English Literature has been revitalized in this Eighth Edition through the collaboration between six new editors and six seasoned ones. Under the direction of Stephen Greenblatt, General Editor, the editors have reconsidered all aspects of the anthology to make it an even better teaching tool.

 Hardcover cheaper than paperback June 28, 2010
RSG
Can you believe I purchased this required textbook as a hardcover version for less than the paperback. This is a large book so having the extra support of a hardcover is great. It truly doesn't add much weight because the book is already heavy. Buying textbooks on Amazon is easy and you save lots of money. Most of the time I can purchase a new edition much cheaper than my college bookstore's (Follett) used price.

This book is an outstanding asset to have. As a student of literature it is incredibly useful. It has over 3,000 pages. My professor told the class that she used this book even for her doctoral dissertation. I plan to keep mine for that too. Highly recommended book. Norton is one of the bests out there.

The book is exactly as discribed. No surprizes. The delivery time was in the earlier part of the expected delivery time.
Excellent anthology of canonical British lit January 1, 2010

This anthology has almost everything that an English major could desire to read of British literature from the 18th to 20th century. I think the editors at Norton did a very good job of choosing what to include in this volume. Everything you'd expect to see is here (Wordsworth, Tennyson, Wilde, Shelley, etc.) and some additional lesser-known works round out this anthology. It is an indispensable resource for passionate undergrads and grad students.
The typeface is small, the pages are translucently thin, and the book is very heavy. These are all drawbacks to this text, but I believe it's worth it for the tremendous amount and variety of material it contains.
If you plan to keep this book for a long time (and not just use it for one semester), I highly recommend getting the hardcover edition. Considering how heavy and fat the book is, the paperback is very flimsy. Also, if this is a required text for one class and you're pretty sure you'll never need it again afterward, don't buy it. Much of the material in this book is public domain and can be found online for free.
