Customer Reviews

Norton Anthology is an excellent starting place, an excellent finishing place.

Coming from near zero and having read the basic literature without the aid of a trained eye, to tell you what you are missing. I am having hours of great fun just reading from front to back. It is like getting many free books (annotations, introductions, and explanations) all wrapped up in one. Not only do you learn more about the literature, but you can retain more when the story has meaning and is in a context. I do have to confess that there is some literature that I have never heard about. So, in the process of reading this, I am also expanding my repertoire.

Goodness...

Excellent comprehensive book of early British Literature. Excellent information and background on authors and time periods.
