Bought it as a textbook. Didn't want to sell it back to campus.
I think I read most of this book for my Engl Lit class and I felt like I had a pretty good (if not general) overview of some of the writers at that time. It was interesting to see what was going on in their era, what they felt, and why they needed to write. Some of the poetry in this book was just gorgeous. As I said for the other volume though, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't consider this a pleasure read. I'd recommend for class.

I like this series of textbooks. Each section has a clear, concise introduction to different aspects of that theme. It provides brief, informative biographies on each author. It includes a wide variety of authors and poets to choose from. There is no way you could cover everything in this book in one semester. It has wonderful footnotes to help clarify archaic words and phrases as well. All this is presented without any kind of opinion or critique, leaving the passages open for debate or persona...more
This was the first textbook for British Literature II this semester. I enjoyed some of the selections, and some not so much.
I'm not really much into poetry, and there is a LOT of poetry. I understand that novels can't really be put into anthologies like this, but I thought the sections on Austen and Dickens were pathetic. Not even excerpts, like they did with Radcliffe, Scott, and M. Shelley (although the excerpt of tha latter was NOT from Frankenstein!).

so many poems! aaarrrgggg!
I now know a ridiculous amount about Romanticism. Listen: the Roms were Badasses. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Includes a wide variety of prose, poetry, and history. An excellent introduction to English literature.
yes I did basically read the whole thing, jesus what kind of a phase was I in last term idk man
Norton is the best.
It would be beneficial to take a course on Romanticism while reading this.

Some good selections in here, but a lot of the introductions are dreadful.
