In all six of its volumes The Broadview Anthology of British
Literature presents British literature in a truly distinctive
light. Fully grounded in sound literary and historical scholarship,
the anthology takes a fresh approach to many canonical authors, and
includes a wide selection of work by lesser-known writers. The
anthology also provides wide-ranging coverage of the worldwide
connections of British literature, and it pays attention throughout
to issues of race, gender, class, and sexual orientation. It
includes comprehensive introductions to each period, providing in
each case an overview of the historical and cultural as well as the
literary background. It features accessible and engaging headnotes
for all authors, extensive explanatory annotations, and an
unparalleled number of illustrations and contextual materials.
Innovative, authoritative and comprehensive, The Broadview
Anthology of British Literature has established itself as a leader
in the field.The full anthology comprises six bound volumes,
together with an extensive website component; the latter has been
edited, annotated, and designed according to the same high
standards as the bound book component of the anthology, and is
accessible by using the passcode obtained with the purchase of one
or more of the bound volumes. The two-volume Broadview Anthology of
British Literature, Concise Edition provides an attractive
alternative to the full six-volume anthology. Though much more
compact, the concise edition nevertheless provides instructors with
substantial choice, offering both a strong selection of canonical
authors and a sampling of lesser-known works. With an unparalleled
number of illustrations and contextual materials, accessible and
engaging introductions, and full explanatory annotations, the
concise edition of this acclaimed Broadview anthology provides
focused yet wide-ranging coverage for British literature survey
courses. Among the works now included for the first time in the
concise edition are Chaucer's The Prioress's Tale; the York
Crucifixion play; more poems from Sidney's Astrophil and Stella; an
expanded section of writings by Elizabeth I, more poems by Lady
Mary Wroth, and an expanded selection of work by Margaret
Cavendish. The literatures of Ireland, Gaelic Scotland, and Wales
are now much better represented, and a selection of work by
Laboring Class Poets is now included. There are also new contextual
materials-including a substantial section on "Transatlantic
Currents." In the case of several authors and texts (among them The
Four Branches of the Mabinogi, Julian of Norwich, Sir Thomas
Malory, and Phillis Wheatley), the new edition will incorporate
substantial improvements that have been made in the new editions of
the period volumes published in recent years. As before, the
Concise edition includes a substantial website component, providing
instructors with a great degree of flexibility. For the first time,
a selection of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales will be available online
in facing-column format (with versions in modern English included
opposite the original text).
