Increasingly, writing handbooks are seen as over-produced and
overpriced. One stands out: The Broadview Guide to Writing
continues to be produced in black, white, and shades of grey, on
plain paper, and to sell for half the price of its fancier-looking
competitors. What does change and stay up-to-date is the book's
contents. For the sixth edition the coverage of MLA, APA, Chicago,
and CBE styles of documentation has been substantially expanded as
well as updated. Also expanded is coverage of formulating academic
arguments; of writing and critical thinking; of writing about
literature, of writing about science; of paragraphing; of how to
integrate quoted material into one's own work; and of balance and
parallelism. The online materials-including the selection of
interactive exercises-will also be expanded considerably.
The Broadview Pocket Guide to Writing presents essential material
from the full Broadview Guide to Writing. Included are key
grammatical points, a glossary of usage, advice on various forms of
academic writing, coverage of punctuation and writing mechanics,
and helpful advice on how to research academic papers. MLA, APA,
and Chicago styles of citation and documentation are covered, and
each has been revised to include the latest updates. A companion
website provides a wealth of interactive exercises, information on
the CSE style of citation and documentation, and much more.
Increasingly, writing handbooks are seen as over-produced and
overpriced. One stands out: The Broadview Guide to Writing is
published in an elegant but simple format, and sells for roughly
half the price of its fancier-looking competitors. That does not

is the content of the book. The seventh Canadian edition brings a
substantial re-organization of the contents under three headings:
Writing Processes, Writing Mechanics, and Writing Contexts.
Coverage of the MLA, APA, Chicago, and CSE styles of documentation
has been substantially revised to reflect the most recent updates,
including the 2020 APA and 2021 MLA changes. As in earlier
editions, the Broadview Guide offers wide ranging coverage of
academic argument; of writing and critical thinking; and of writing
about literature. Coverage of personal and informal writing is
included for the first time-as is a sample literary essay in MLA
style (in addition to the sample MLA interdisciplinary essay). The
'How to be Good with Words' chapter (on issues of gender, race,
religion etc.) has been extensively revised, as has the material on
electronic etiquette.
In recent decades the contested areas of English usage have grown
both larger and more numerous. We may argue rather less frequently
than was once the case over issues of grammar and usage. But we
argue more frequently than ever overwhether to use man or humanity,
fisher or fisherman; whether to say Indians or Native Peoples (or
First Nations, or Chippewa or Cree or Snuneymuxw, as the case may
be); whether to speak of a person being disabled, or challenged, or
differently abled; whether it's acceptable to say that's so gay.
These are all issues that some would lump together as controversies
of political correctness (itself in some ways a problematic
expression). Certainly they are all issues that involve ethics as
well as the conventions of grammar or of English usage - though
they are often intimately intertwined with those conventions. This
volume offers a concise and user-friendly guide to these large
issues. Can we use language in ways that avoid giving expression to
prejudices embedded within it? Can the words we use help us point a
way towards a better world? Can we take these issues with
appropriate seriousness while remaining open-minded - and still
retaining our sense of humor? To all these questions this little
book answers yes, while offering clear-headed discussions of many
of the key issues.

Arguably no medieval English literary work has had as far and wide
a reach as Sir Thomas Malory's Le Morte Darthur; among the many
adaptations are Tennyson's "Idylls of the King", T.H. White's The
Once and Future King and the Lerner and Loewe musical Camelot. It
might also be argued that the late twentieth- and early
twenty-first-century tradition of fantasy literature-from Tolkien's
Lord of the Rings to George Lucas's Star Wars and beyond-owes much
to the Arthurian tradition, rooted in English most strongly in
Malory's Morte Darthur. Yet there has been no edition that draws on
the results of the past generation's scholarship while presenting
Malory's work in a form that is at once true to the original and
accessible to the modern reader. This new edition, which expands on
the revised and expanded selection of Malory material that will be
included in the third edition of The Broadview Anthology of British
Literature, is all of those things. The extensive selections
include most of the material concerning Launcelot and all of the
Morte's two final tales; the language has been partially modernised
to make the text accessible to the modern reader, while retaining
the flavour of the original; the text has been carefully prepared
from the Winchester manuscript; and the annotations are extensive.
