A Balanced Compilation of Literature

It is enthralling and provides a tidbit of history in order for the reader to understand different themes in a literary and historical context. It may also encourage you to do further research on any given topic. If you are an English teacher, this would be a good book to use. ...

The Norton Anthology of Poetry

W. W. Norton, 2005

My constant companion
I got this anthology as a gift a few years ago, just after its release, I believe, and it has been with me ever since. This book is one of the few items that I must have with me no matter what my location, whether at college or at home. Norton anthologies are great. As is the case with the ones I used in college, this book includes both footnotes and glossing in the margins, both of which help ...

Ahh! Get a cup of tea, find a cozy spot, and settle in...
If you're a book lover, how can you not love a book like this? It was my required reading for a literature class, and I was all too happy to have an excuse to buy it. Satisfyingly fat at 3000 pages, it exudes that delicious book smell when you flip through it, and its matte-sheen cover feels good in your hands and protects its sizable contents quite well. For me, this was worth getting just ...

The Norton Anthology of American Literature, Package 1: Volumes A and B

W. W. Norton, 2007

Cheaper than the University Bookstore
I havent even taken this book from it's packaging, but all I know for sure is that I paid far less on Amazon than I would have at the University Bookstore and that's all that needs to be said. I give this book 5 stars for that reason alone.

The Norton Anthology of Western Literature, Volume 1

5 reviews

W. W. Norton, 2005

An absolutely delicious anthology...
I purchased this book for a class, but was delighted to discover that I will definitely want to hang onto it afterwards. The translations chosen for the 'Ancient World' portion are, for the most part, delightfully vivid and capture the spirit of the original language. I also like the layout - the margin size is just perfect for taking notes.

The Norton Anthology of World Masterpieces, One Volume, Expanded Edition

9 reviews

W. W. Norton, 1997

A Real Masterpiece
Great reading on those quiet Sunday evenings. The historical perspectives and timelines are the best part; really helps you understand the progression of literature as we know it. The Norton series (western literature) was used often in highschool for me, but I had quite narrow historical perspectives back then; this book has helped change that. I would also recommend Glimpes of World History by ...

Longman, 2006

A great anthology!
I'm using the Longman Anthology of the Romantics and their Contemporaries (3d edition) for the first time in my 3d-year Romantics course (enrolment 88 and counting!) -- I would like to thank the editors for doing a fantastic job -- the introductory essay (pp. 3-29) is truly unparallelled for clarity, scope, and intelligence -- absolutely filled to the brim with great, challenging ideas. The ...

Anthology for Musical Analysis Edition

6 reviews

Harcourt Brace* Co, 1972

Terrific collection of pieces for study
Of course, every piece of music can be analyzed and discussed. The problem for the teacher is to find pieces that will yield useful principles for students to learn through their early studies in form, harmony, and voice leading. Ideally, the pieces will be representative of the music of their period and of the principles under discussion. It really does the student no good to study a piece ...

The Norton Anthology of Short Fiction

R. V. Cassill

W. W. Norton, 2005

Great anthology, but one minor complaint about this edition
Yet another wonderful Norton anthology, but I have only one disappointment: this "shorter seventh edition" excludes "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson, which was in the "shorter sixth edition." This is a classic short story and I can't quite get my head around as to why they chose to omit this of all stories from this edition. :-( This was one (of many) reasons I ordered this book-- I didn't ...

The Norton Anthology of Theory and Criticism

16 reviews

W. W. Norton, 2001

Nice, broad, relevant, contemporary survey
An exhaustive and briefly thorough reference on theory and criticism complete with bibliographies at the end of each section. From Plato to Samuel Jonhson to Marx to Habermas to Derrida to Edward Said, if it pertains to the theory or criticism of literature, the arts, or culture, it is probably covered here in a somewhat contemporary presentation. Goes beyond what you might expect in a textbook, ...
