The Broadview Anthology of British Literature: Compact Edition, Volume a - Second Edition

Guided by the latest scholarship, The Broadview Anthology of British Literature is acclaimed for its extraordinarily high quality, for its breadth, and for the deep attention it pays to literature's historical and cultural contexts. The Broadview is structured to meet the needs of today's students, with an unparalleled selection of illustrations and contextual materials, accessible and engaging introductions, and full explanatory annotations. The Compact Edition, Volume A: The Medieval Period to the Eighteenth Century is the first half of the shortest version of the anthology; it's ideally suited for one-semester survey courses. A substantial website component is included, and many longer works are also available from the publisher in separate volumes (which may at the instructor's request be bundled together with this anthology).
