Back Jacket

Guided by the latest scholarship, The Broadview Anthology of British Literature is acclaimed for its inclusiveness and its deep attention 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 second edition of the anthology's One-Volume Compact Edition includes fresh selections from many authors--among them Phillis Wheatley, Mary Shelley, and Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. Also new are omnibus sections addressing topics such as "The Supernatural and the Occult" in the early modern era, "Modernism and Modernity," and "Poetry in the Late Twentieth and Twenty-First Centuries." A substantial website component is included, and many longer works are also available from the publisher in separate volumes that may at the instructor's request be bundled together with this anthology.
